1. Selected Material The IEEE 488 cable is durable, safe to use, resistant to breakage or deformation, and can last for a long time. It is made of carefully selected grade materials. 2. Widely Used The cable's metal connector has a broad range of applications, with a typical use being laboratory test equipment. It features a parallel 8bit interface for connecting multiple communicating instruments controlled by a computer and/or other instruments. 3. Unlike Others Long GPIB cables enable digital 8bit parallel (bidirectional) data transmission, extending between devices in linear, star, or circular configurations, complying with IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards. 4. Additional Features Commonly used to extend HPIB or GPIB buses, the control board cable is added to the bus and can also function as an extension cable. Both ends feature CN24M and CN24F connectors with screw locks.
