Hi everybody,
I need to connect two systems, both equipped with IEEE488 interface but
a few hundred feet distant from each others. I'm told there exist totally
passive and transparent extender gadgets which bridge the distance using
 a fibre optic cable.
Has anybody had practical experience with such devices?

Thank you for any hints.

Kind regards,		Elmar Folba
