Yes, but that shouldn't be surprising. The CAN bus uses 2 termination resistors, ideally located at each end. Both termination resistors are 120 ohm. Neither the Jaguar nor NI-9853 (*) provide internal termination since they make no assumptions regarding the bus topology nor where they are placed.

(*) This module was used by NI on NItro.. but I would not make any assumptions about this. NItro is a technology demonstration vehicle.
