- High quality materials The IEEE 488 GPIB cable is built from selected high quality materials to provide a comfortable user experience. It is durable, safe to use, resistant to breakage or deformation, and designed for long term reliability. - Wide application Commonly used with laboratory testing equipment. This cable with a metal connector offers an 8-bit parallel interface to connect multiple communication tools for control via a computer and/or other instruments. - Standards and performance The long GPIB cables comply with IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards, enabling the transmission of parallel bidirectional 8-bit digital data and allowing expansion between devices in a linear, star-shaped, or circular pattern. - Abundant functions The control board cable is typically used to extend the HPIB or GPIB bus. Both ends have CN24M and CN24F connectors with screw caps. In addition to bus extension, it can also be used as an extension cable. Use scenarios - Connect a PC controller to multiple laboratory instruments for automated data collection and instrument control in a test setup. - Extend the GPIB/HPIB bus on a bench where instruments are located farther from the computer, enabling flexible workstation layouts. - Create linear, star, or circular device networks for bidirectional 8-bit data transmission across several instruments in a testing rig.
