The Agilent/Keysight 11500A is a Type-N male-to-male cable assembly for RF and microwave signal interconnection in test and measurement setups. Operating DC to 6.0 GHz, this cable delivers low-loss signal transfer with maximum insertion loss of 0.73 dB (at shorter lengths) and 1.87 dB (at longer lengths), paired with 10.5 dB minimum return loss. Three lengths accommodate different test configurations: 58 cm, 180 cm, and 2 meter variants. The assembly exhibits low reflection, negligible EMI, and mechanical integrity suitable for high-repeatability measurement environments.
