Terminated with dual 24-pin Centronics-style male/female stackable connectors, enabling both linear and star bus topologies. The 24-conductor cable features double shielding (aluminum foil and tinned copper braid) for robust EMI/RFI immunity. Primarily used in automated test equipment (ATE), data acquisition, and laboratory automation environments to facilitate communication and control between instruments and a host controller. ## Function Provides a physical interconnect for the IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), facilitating 8-bit parallel communication for automated test and measurement (ATE) systems. The double-shielded, 24-conductor cable with stackable micro ribbon connectors enables daisy-chaining of multiple instruments for synchronized command, control, and data acquisition tasks within a single bus architecture. ## Platform Designed for IEEE-488 (GPIB) instrument control systems, this cable operates within test and measurement hardware environments requiring reliable, high-speed data transfer up to 1 Mbyte/s. It features dual male/female IEEE-488 connectors with robust triple shielding (two foil plus copper braid) and cast metal shells to maintain signal integrity and EMI/RFI protection. Typical platforms include systems integrating programmable test instruments, computers, plotters, and peripherals that support the IEEE-488 GPIB bus for daisy-chained or star-configured device networks. Its normal-to-normal connector orientation enables straightforward connection of compatible devices in laboratory or industrial automation setups. ## Application Used for connecting and interfacing test and measurement equipment enabling the orderly communication and data exchange in laboratory setups and automated testing systems, thereby facilitating control of multiple devices through standardized GPIB protocols in precision measurement, calibration, and data acquisition applications. ## Accessories Male DB-25 GPIB connector on both ends, 24 pins, connects IEEE-488 instrumentation to computers and controllers in measurement and test environments, normal orientation connectors on both ends, double-shielded cable to minimize EMI/RFI, metal connector housings for improved grounding, supports data transfer rates up to 8 Mbytes/second with proper GPIB controllers, compatible with HP/Agilent/Keysight, Tektronix, and other GPIB-compliant test equipment. ## Interface Two IEEE-488 GPIB 24-pin microribbon-style connectors. Typically one male and one female, enabling stackable connections for daisy-chaining instruments. Purpose: Bidirectional communication and control for test and measurement equipment. ## Images - - - -
