Premium materials and durability - Premium, high-quality construction that is safe to use, resistant to breakage and deformation, and built for long-term service. Widely applicable in the lab - Ideal for lab test equipment with an 8-bit parallel interface, enabling multiple instruments to be controlled from a computer or other devices. Performance and compatibility - Enables bidirectional digital 8-bit data transfer and supports linear, star, or ring topologies. - Complies with IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards for reliable communication. Extension and connectivity features - Typically used to extend the HPIB/GPIB bus; can serve as an extension cable as well. - Ends feature CN24M and CN24F connectors with screw-locks for secure, permanent connections. Use scenarios - Connect several instruments to a PC for coordinated automated measurements in the lab. - Expand a GPIB bus in setups arranged in line, star, or ring topologies. - Replace worn or damaged cables to restore reliable data transfer and bus integrity.
