Mil specification A-A-55183 defines an IEEE-488 connector which terminates to a cable via an IDC [Insulation Displacement Connector]. The GPIB side may be secured either by screws or a locking bail.
Main description of the General Purpose Interface Bus.
General requirements for a polarized shell, plug, electrical digital interface bus connector. This connector can be used in applications that require conformance to the IEEE 488 interface standard, and require termination of a discrete wire type cable. These connectors are typically used in cable-to-cable interconnections. Connectors are intended for commercial/industrial applications and may be used in military systems where individual environmental and performance requirements can be met.
