Shop IEEE-488 and GPIB cables and connector hardware for laboratory instruments, test equipment, measurement systems and legacy computer-controlled equipment. Wallco offers finished GPIB cable assemblies in multiple lengths along with compatible connector components.
Compare products by interface type, connector configuration, cable length and instrument requirements.
IEEE-488, commonly associated with the General Purpose Interface Bus or GPIB, is used to connect compatible laboratory instruments, test equipment and computer-controlled measurement systems. The interface remains important for maintaining many existing industrial and laboratory installations.
Finished IEEE-488 cable assemblies provide the signal connection between compatible instruments and controllers. Cables are available in different lengths to accommodate benchtop equipment, test racks and larger measurement systems.
Compatible connector assemblies are used when building or repairing GPIB interfaces and specialized equipment cables. Verify connector construction and termination requirements before selecting component hardware.
GPIB has been widely used with oscilloscopes, meters, analyzers, power supplies and other programmable instruments. Replacement cables can be useful when integrating older measurement equipment with an existing automated test system.
Select cable length according to equipment spacing and the requirements of the complete IEEE-488 installation. Avoid unnecessary excess cable and verify the connected instruments and controller support the intended bus arrangement.
Confirm that the equipment uses an IEEE-488 or GPIB interface, then determine whether a finished cable or connector component is required. Verify cable length and equipment documentation before installation.
