The Keysight 10073C is a passive oscilloscope probe engineered for general-purpose signal tracing and circuit analysis across a 500 MHz bandwidth. Built with a stainless steel probe body and fracture-resistant plastic housing, this probe delivers reliable performance in demanding field environments. The 10:1 attenuation ratio reduces loading effects on circuits under test while the probe readout feature enables automatic attenuation configuration on compatible oscilloscopes, eliminating setup errors.
