Description
The GPIB-140A is a high-speed GPIB extender designed for a wide range of applications. It comes in several part numbers, including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06, catering to various needs and setups.
This device falls under the GPIB category, confirming its utility in General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) systems. Specifically, it is the GPIB-140A model, which stands out for its capability to extend GPIB connections. The GPIB-140A/2 High-Speed GPIB Extender notably supports distances up to 2 km when equipped with U.S. 120 VAC power supply, although it is optimized for a maximum cable length of 1 km with a pair of extenders.
Compatibility is a key feature of the GPIB-140A, as it adheres to both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring a broad range of device connections and interoperability. Its buffered transfer technique is instrumental in achieving high data transfer speeds, significantly faster than 2.8 Mbytes/s, thanks to the HS488 protocol.
Another essential aspect of the GPIB-140A is its software transparency, meaning it can integrate seamlessly into existing setups without the need for additional software modifications. This ease of integration, combined with a straightforward power requirement of U.S. 120 VAC, makes the GPIB-140A an efficient and versatile choice for extending GPIB connections over long distances.
