This premium CBC24 series GPIB cable 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 other system cables and particularly in a computer back plane. This is the best IEEE-488 cable available on the market today at any price. Featuring two braid shields plus two foil shields for maximum protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference). Unique backshell designs with overlapping seams coupled with a crimp ferrule strain relief results in both protection against leakage and provides enhanced mechanical strength. This combination of features ensures a highly reliable cable that will pass the most stringent emissions testing while providing years of trouble free service. One standard male/female piggyback connector plus one male only in-line connector for added convenience when the female connector is not required. Also saves cost and adds an alternative cable entry direction.
