Shielded IEEE-488 GPIB Cable - Length Options

Connect compatible test instruments with a shielded IEEE-488 GPIB cable. Stackable connectors and several length options make it easier to arrange a multi-instrument bench without forcing every device into the same position.

✅ Link compatible GPIB instruments - The cable provides a connection for equipment using the IEEE-488 interface.

✅ Build a stackable connection arrangement - Stackable connectors support the physical layout of a multi-instrument GPIB setup.

✅ Choose a practical cable run - Lengths from 0.5 to 5 m help match the route between instruments.

✅ Add shielding around the conductors - Braid and foil shielding help manage interference along the cable path.

Arrange the Bench Around the Instruments

A measurement setup often brings several instruments together in a limited space. Choosing the right cable length helps route connections behind the equipment while keeping the controls and displays accessible.

Stackable connectors are useful when the system's connection arrangement calls for more than one instrument at a point. Follow the GPIB system's cable-length and device limits when planning the complete bus, rather than judging the layout from one cable alone.
