Molded IEEE-488 GPIB cable assemblies allow connectors to exit in the reverse direction than standard cables. This feature is sometimes desirable and necessary to avoid nearby obstructions or when extending existing cable assembly lengths. Wiring is the same as standard GPIB cables, only connector orientation is reversed. Featuring an outer braid plus foil shield, these cables provide for enhanced protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference). A unique stamped steel internal enclosure provides 100% shielding and robust strain relief. Molded backshells contribute to long life expectancy and resist breakage at the point where the cable enters the backshell. This combination of features ensures highly reliable cable that will pass stringent emissions testing while providing years of trouble free service. Custom modifications are available with modest minimum requirements.
