The Berg Electronics 81190-020 is a 2-meter GPIB cable engineered for instrument control and data communication in laboratory and industrial test environments. It connects computers to GPIB-enabled instruments, supports daisy-chaining configurations, and interfaces with GPIB cards and gateways. Double shielding and low EMI characteristics preserve signal integrity across connections. Metal Centronic 24-pin connectors (male to female) provide durable, standard IEEE 488 mechanical compliance. At 1.25 lbs, this cable integrates into existing GPIB networks without requiring active conversion or signal conditioning.
