GPIB Ribbon Cable Interface
Mil specification A-A-55139 defines an IEEE-488 connector which terminates to a cable via an IDC [Insulation Displacement Connector]. The GPIB cable side is secured by a locking screw.
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 panel mount applications. Connectors are intended for commercial/industrial applications and shall not be used in military systems needing stringent environmental and electrical requirements.
IEEE488.1; defines the physical layer of the bus system.
