The L-Com CIB24XR is an IEEE-488 male-to-female extender that reverses cable exit direction by 180 degrees, enabling improved cable routing and management in space-constrained installations. A one-inch extension provides additional clearance for right-angle connectors while maintaining signal integrity across standard GPIB instrument interfaces. The extender houses 24 gold-plated contacts on each end, rated for 1 A continuous current and operating temperatures from -40 °C to 85 °C.
