1. Outstanding Quality The IEEE 488 cable provides a comfortable experience, is durable, safe to use, resistant to breaking or deformation, and can last for a long time as it is made from selected quality materials. 2. Wide Range of Applications A typical application is laboratory test equipment. The cable's metal connector has a broad range of uses, featuring an 8bit parallel interface for connecting multiple communicating instruments controlled by a computer and/or other devices. 3. Classic Design Long GPIB cables enable parallel (bidirectional) 8bit digital data transmission, comply with IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards, and can be extended between devices in linear, star, or circular configurations. 4. Multiple Functions Both ends feature dual CN24M and CN24F connectors with screw locks. The control board cable is added to the bus and can also function as an extension cable, commonly used to extend HPIB or GPIB buses.
