9-2. Rack Mount Kit
The Y5537 rack mount kit provides all the hardware necessary to mount the 5520A on
slides in a 24-inch (61 cm) equipment rack. Instructions are provided in the kit. (To rack
mount the 5725A Amplifier, order kit Y5735.)
9-3. IEEE-488 Interface Cables
Shielded IEEE-488 cables are available in three lengths (See Table 9-1). The cables
attach to the 5520A to any other IEEE-488 device. Each cable has double 24-pin
connectors at both ends to allow stacking. Metric threaded mounting screws are provided
with each connector. Appendix D shows the pinout for the IEEE-488 connector.
9-4. RS-232 Null-Modem Cables
The PM8914/001 and RS40 null modem cables connect the 5520A SERIAL 1 FROM
HOST port to a printer, video display terminal, computer, or other serial device
configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Appendix D shows the pinouts for the
serial connectors.
9-5. RS-232 Modem Cables
The modem cable (PN 943738) connects the 5520A SERIAL 2 TO UUT port to a unit
under test serial port (with DB-9 male connector). Appendix D shows the pinouts for the
serial connectors.
9-6. 5500A/LEADS
The optional test lead kit, 5500A/LEADS, is a kit of test leads for voltage and current,
thermocouple extension wires, thermocouple miniconnectors, and thermocouple
measuring “beads.”
