The L-Com CIB24XC is a slimline IEEE-488 GPIB extension adapter engineered to connect male and female connectors in space-constrained environments. It extends existing IEEE-488 cables while maintaining signal integrity through comprehensive shielding and gold-plated contacts, making it ideal for instrument control, data acquisition, and test and measurement systems.
## Technical Specifications
• **Interface Standard:** IEEE-488 GPIB
• **Connector Type:** Male to Female, 24-way
• **Height:** 0.73 inches (1.9 cm)
• **Extension Clearance:** Approximately 1 inch
• **Contact Plating:** 30 micro-inch gold plated
• **Connector Insulator Rating:** UL94V-0
• **Enclosure:** Stamped steel internal with 100% shielding
• **Back-Shells:** Molded for durability and strain relief
• **Shielding:** Outer braid plus foil shield
## Key Features
• **Slimline Profile:** Low-profile 0.73-inch height accommodates tight port spacing and narrow cable passages without sacrificing connector integrity.
• **Full Shielding Architecture:** Stamped steel internal enclosure combined with outer braid and foil shield delivers complete EMI protection and signal fidelity in electrically noisy environments.
• **Durable Construction:** Molded back-shells and robust strain relief prevent cable stress fractures during repeated connection cycles and mechanical handling.
• **Gold Contact System:** 30 micro-inch gold plating ensures consistent mating reliability across thousands of connection cycles while resisting oxidation and corrosion.
• **Safety Compliance:** UL94V-0 rated insulator material meets flammability requirements for controlled laboratory and industrial environments.
## Typical Applications
• Instrument control and automation
• Data acquisition systems
• Test and measurement benches
• Equipment with spatially constrained connector ports
## Compatibility & Integration
This adapter maintains full compliance with IEEE-488 standards and connects to legacy and modern GPIB instruments. The male-to-female configuration enables cable extension without requiring additional adapters or converter assemblies.
