The IEEE 488 Cable with CN24M and CN24F connectors - Superior materials and durability This IEEE 488 cable is designed for long service life. It uses high quality materials that are safe for use and resist breakage or deformation, providing reliable performance over time. - Broad applications in lab and test equipment Ideal for lab test setups, the cable features an 8-bit parallel interface that enables connecting multiple communicating instruments to a computer and/or other instruments for control and coordination. - Distinctive performance compared with standard cables Longer GPIB cables support digital 8-bit parallel bidirectional data transfer between devices. It supports linear, star-shaped, or ring (circular) topologies and complies with IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards. - Flexible functionality and secure connections Both ends feature CN24M and CN24F connectors with screw-locks. The cable can be added to the GPIB/HPIB bus and can also serve as an extension cable to extend the bus length. 2-3 practical use scenarios - Scenario 1: Automate a measurement workstation Connect multiple instruments to a PC to automate data collection and instrument control in a laboratory or test bench. - Scenario 2: Extend a GPIB/HPIB bus Use the cable to place instruments farther from the controller or to reconfigure an existing test setup while maintaining bidirectional communication. - Scenario 3: Flexible instrument topology during development Configure a linear, star, or ring arrangement of devices around a central controller for testing, calibration, or development work, all while adhering to IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2.
