TAMS GPIB cable has a high density connector on one end and a standard GPIB connector on the other. TAMS PCI & PCIe GPIB cards use a smaller, high density connector so as to be in full compliance with the PCI specification.

Technically, a standard GPIB connector on a PCI card is actually slightly wider than the PCI specification allows. With a standard GPIB connector and cable, it is sometimes impossible to connect the cable to some computers. The large connectors often interfere with the case or adjacent expansion slots. This can stress the cable, card or connection. Our high density connector allows multiple cards to be installed in adjacent slots without cable interference or connection strain. Cables are not included with the interfaces and should be ordered separately.
