Daun,
HPIL was also designed to go long lengths for remote operation.? The cable was nothing special, just a two wire parallel cable like zip cord.? If you needed a longer length, you could simply splice in a length of cheap speaker cable.? There was a special shielded parallel wire cable that was looked but never marketed at that would allow the HPIL to run several hundred feet.? This was going to be sold into the 3421A data acquisition market that also used the HPIL interface (IEE488 also an option) and the DC analog circuity developed for the 3468A.
