Molded Grade IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - The most economical choice uses double shield cable that is adequate for many applications. Featuring all-molded connector ends which contribute to a long life expectancy and are imperivous to breakage at the point where the cable enters the connector housing. A unique stamped steel internal enclosure provides 100 percent shielding and a robust strain relief. Considerable savings can be realized using this cable, particulary in volume applications.
The CMB Cable Series meets all standards of the IEEE-488 interface, conforms with normal mounting procedure and is directly compatible with HP,AMP and Amphenol.
*Two Reverse Entry Connectors to Overcome Difficult Mounting

Molded IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - There are times when the use of standard GPIB cable is not desireable because of obstructions from other nearby instruments, etc. It may be more advantageous to have the cable enter the connector housing from the opposite direction. An obvious advantage is when used as an extension cable.
*With One Reverse Entry Connector to One Normal Entry

Molded IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - GPIB users realize the virtue of reverse entry and have asked us to provide half and half types. These cables are useful for connecting rack equipment when GPIB receptacles do not orientate properly to allow shortest distance and an orderly apperance.
Plenum IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - Another innovative breathrough in the IEEE-488 product offering. These cables utilize a CMP rated cable jacket and overmold material. CMP rated material is a fire retardant compound that possesses exceptional self-exttinguishing characteristics. Plenum rated cables are necessary when the highest fire resistant assemblies are required. Cable construction features foil/braid shield, 12 FEP insulated 26 AWG twisted pairs and standard male/female connectors. A unique stamped steel internal enclosure provides 100 percent sheilding and a robust strain relief. Custom lengths or cable assemblies with in-line or reverse entry connector orientation can be manufactured with modest minimum requirements.
Molded CMC Series IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - Similar in construction and electrical specifications to our populara CMB24 series w/the exception that one end terminates to a straight male connector. This is sometimes preferred when there is no apparent need to have the exposed female end. Furthermore, it elimates the need for capping the exposed connector. Quite useful when the traditional right angle cable gets in the way of other cables such as in a computers back panel. Both ends of these cables utilize a stamped steel internal closure providing 100% shielding and a robust strain relief.
*PC Port Entry and In-Line Mating with IEEE-488 GPIB Cables
Select Category or Product
Molded Adapter/Extension Cables - A dual purpose Adapter/Extension cable. It's slim male end will readily fit through most PC IEEE-488 equipment ports. Very similar in appearance to our standard CMC24 cables except that the single Female offset connector has reverse entry allowing GPIB cables to mate in a natural in-line direction. Dual shield construction with molded in-line and metal reverse entry backshells. Available from stock only in standard lengths of eight inches, half and one meter. However, longer lengths could be made available on a custom basis.
Molded CMD Series IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - Both ends of hte cable have a molded single ended GPIB connector. This new cable type is not only useful in some applications, but also saves you money. Has the same specifications as the basic CMB24 series, fully shielded and molded to last for years.
Deluxe Grade IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - Two foil shields plus one copper braid shield (over 90% coverage) provide low capacitance to maintain the IEEE spec. Designed and built to handle your system's data rate, up to the 1 Mbyte/s IEEE maximum. All technical features found in our Premium CIB24 Series are incorporated in the series, the only exception being that there is one less shield. This in no way diminishes the fact that this series is as good as, or better than, other name brand IEEE-488 cables on the market today.
The CIF24 Series IEEE-488 cables may be used to connect two compatible devices such as personal computer and a plotter. The can be Daisy-Chained to several computer peripherals or may be used to integrate a system of programmable test instruments and control devices. Each end of every cable has a male/female connector and readily accepts a male terminated cable.
Premium Grade IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - Two copper braid shields coupled with two foil shields work to reduce the amount of radiated emissions. This helps many systems to pass FCC Part 15, MIL-STD-461A, VDE 0871. All wires are twisted pairs to maintain a low capacitance within the 150 pF/m IEEE specification. Besides superior electrical characteristics, this cable has been designed to last a very long time. Cable has extreme flexibility that is equiped with a superior strain relief. This prevents the cable from coming apart when it is bent at sharp angle, which has been a common fault with many IEEE-488 cables on the market today. Finally, cast aluminum, nickel plated shells are used to prevent corrosion and they have overlapping seams rather than butt-jointed.
Premium Grade CBC24 Series IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - This premium series has one conventional Male-Female connector. The other end terminates to a straight male-only connector, a feature sometimes preferred when there is no need to have a female end exposed. This cable is most useful when the dual-right angle connectors get in the way of the other system cables and particulary inn a computer back plane.
Premium Grade CBD24 Series IEEE-488 GPIB Cables - This premium series IEEE-488 cable is equipped with two single ended male ends. This cable type is not only useful in many applications, but also save s you money. Has the same specifications as the basic CIB24 series. All connector guards are cast metal, not stamped metal.
Premium Grade CBX24 IEEE-488 GPIB Extension Cables - The world's first true IEEE-488 extension cable. Add versatility to the In-Line series as an everyday means of interconnection. A useful cable for those situations which require a longer cable.
*The Easiest Way to Feed GPIB Cables Through Panels
Select Category or Product
IEEE-488 GPIB Bulhead Adapters - IEEE-488 Bulkhead adapters originated because of a need by design and test engineers. These adapters provide the only means of passing an IEEE-488 cable through common cabinet walls and will also provide access to a console work table when mounted on a panel.
Two basic models are available. The BA version has the conventional male-female entry, whereas the BF version has two female entries. The BF allows more than one cable to be mounted piggy-back on both sides of the panel.
Because of concerns for grounding loops, the CIB24BF-I model features a fiberglass mounting bracket.
