    The GPIB-120A is a GPIB Expander/Isolator designed to enhance the capabilities of your GPIB systems. With part numbers ranging from 776564-01 to 776564-06, this device falls under the GPIB category and adheres to the IEEE 488.1 standard.

    One of the key features of the GPIB-120A is its ability to expand the maximum number of system devices from 15 to 28. This expansion does not require any software rewrite, as the expander/isolator is compatible with transparent software. Additionally, it doubles the cable limit to 40 meters, enhancing the flexibility and reach of your GPIB system.

    The GPIB-120A boasts an operating isolation of 60 V and a breakdown isolation of 1600 V, ensuring safe and reliable operation. It comes equipped with Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ connectors, providing versatile connection options. Furthermore, the device features 7 LED indicators for monitoring the status of the Active Controller, System Controller, and more.

    With 16 signal lines (which include 5 interface management, 3 handshake, and 8 data lines) and 8 ground return lines (shield drain or ground return lines), the GPIB-120A ensures efficient and reliable data transfer and system integration. This device is an essential tool for expanding and isolating GPIB systems, offering enhanced performance and safety features.
