GPIB-130

Description

The NI GPIB-130 is a robust GPIB Bus Extender designed to increase the maximum cable distance in GPIB systems to up to 300 meters and expand the number of GPIB devices supported to 28. It is fully compatible with both IEEE 488.1 and 488.2 standards, ensuring a wide range of device interoperability without requiring software changes due to its transparency.

For extended distances ranging from 50 to 300 meters, the extender works with a CL2-rated T2 cable, while for distances of up to 50 meters, a T5 cable can be utilized, which offers a cost-effective, smaller, and lighter alternative. The GPIB-130 boasts an impressive transfer rate of more than 900 kbytes per second, facilitating rapid data exchange across the extended GPIB network.

Physically, the device measures 3.75 x 3.0 x 0.95 inches and is enclosed in a durable 0.050 in THK 5052-H32 Aluminum case. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can withstand a relative humidity range of 5% to 95% without condensation, ensuring stable performance in varying environmental conditions.
