Hi guys,
Does anyone here have a surplus of GPIB, HPIB or IEEE488 cables (they're
all the same thing) with metric threads? (the thumbscrews will probably
be black -- the silver ones are AIUI usually some SAE thread type or other).
I'm after a couple of the short 1-2ft "instrument to instrument" cables,
a 1-metre (to replace a nasty little knockoff cable which has
excessively long thumbscrews) and a 2-metre (to replace a buggered up
Belden cable).
These seem to be commanding utterly insane prices on Greed-Bay, and are
basically unavailable elsewhere...
Thanks,

Almost all HPIB cables, and certainly all modern ones, will have M3.5
jackscrews. The original ones were 6-32 UNC. At one time HP sold kits to
convert original cables or instruments to the M3.5 thread, but I doubt
they're still avaialble.
I am actually looking for a couple of the 6-32 jackscrews. One of my HP
instruemtns -- I think it's the 59309 clock, has the UNC jackposts, and
I'd rather keep it original. What I'll probalbvy end up doing is
converting a cable to the original theads (by making the jackscrews
myself if necessary) at one end only, so I can use that to conenc the
clock to the other HPIB stuff.

I thought they were still being made, but at even more insane prices...
I know I have a fair number, but equally, I have a lot of HPIB kit here
so I need a lot of cables. I can see if I have the odd one 'spare' though
if you get no other offers.

I found
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ieee-488-gpib-bus-interface-cable-1m-length-53…
and
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ieee-488-gpib-bus-interface-cable-2m-length-51…
at what appears to be decent prices.

Thanks!

I'm continually shocked by the deals that members of this list find when Google fails
to. Like the $5 SCSI cables someone pointed me to recently on Monoprice.
