You just ordered an ethernet to gpib
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/poe-ethernet-gpib-adapter-open-source-project-now-public/msg5799345/#msg5799345
and the OP there says "It supports both PoE and USB-C for power, with GPIB communication over either Ethernet or USB-C."

If you need another USB-GPIB then try

xyphro - one per instrument, enumerates as test and measurement device, works with visa
https://github.com/xyphro/UsbGpib
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/open-source-gpib-adapter/

ar488 - works like prologix, doesn't play nice with visa

The AR488 design is incredibly easy to build if you use a Pro Micro and artag's V3 PCB design.

In addition to several of the AR488's, I also have a couple of genuine Agilent ones.  So I've not tried the Xyphro design, but it looks like it has some advantages but is a little more trouble to assemble.

I have also ordered a couple of those Ethernet to GPIB devices as those will be quite handy on my 34970A's.

Before I made my version of the AR488 project, I bought the IEEE-488 connector from my local junk shop and wired it to my Arduino UNO board with some ribbon cable.  I was downloading my HP 3478A calibration data in a couple of hours.

There's a guy in the German uc.net forum who just made a group order of USBTMC and AR488 based adapters. He produced a few spare ones, you could ask him if he still has one available. Pricing was 15€ and 22€ each respectively with 3D printed housings, plus shipping.

USBTMC
AR488

The threads are in German, but I'm sure Google Translate etc. will be good enough.

These are the projects:
