GPIB/IEEE 488 Products

Hewlett Packard model 59403A provides a way to extend the separation of component parts in an HP-IB system by more than the 20 metre maximum transmission path length specified in various interface standards, and it is especially useful for production or remote site applications. Distances up to 1000 metres are possible by using two 59403A modules (one at each location) interconnected by a dedicated and shielded two-twisted-pair cable.

The HP 59403A module converts HP-IB data and control lines to a serial bit stream of digital information for transmission over dedicated or telephone lines, and vice versa in the reverse direction. Operation is full duplex, so that (for example) one HP-IB device at a remote location can request service from the controller at the same time the controller is sending data to another HP-IB device at the remote location.

HP 10834A Cable Adapter

The HP 10834A adapter is a shielded HP-IB adapter. It provides additional clearance (approximately 2.3 cm) between the HP-IB cable and the rear panel of the instrument. This allows easier access to switches, cables, and other connectors that may be in close proximity to the HP-IB connector.

HP 82977B HP-IB/GPIB/IEEE-488 Cable

Two meters long, IEEE-488 compatible, RFI shielded. The connector block at one end has a plug on one side and a matching receptacle on the other, so that several cables may be connected in parallel. The connector block at the other end has a right-angle connector so that it can plug into a mating receptical from above or below. This is useful in situations where space is limited. Lock screws provide for secure mounting of each connector block to an HP-IB instrument, or to another cable connector block. Removed from working test systems, in good cosmetic condition.

L-Com CIB24BF GPIB Bulkhead Adapter

Female to Female bulkhead mount adapter. Provides a 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. Multiple cables can be piggy-backed on both sides of the adapter.
