The Agilent/Keysight 11533A is an APC-7 to SMA (male) adapter engineered for impedance measurement applications in RF and microwave test environments. It bridges APC-7 and SMA connector standards, enabling signal routing between instruments and devices that use different connector interfaces while maintaining signal integrity across the measurement chain.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Configuration: APC-7 input, SMA (male) output
• Frequency Range: DC to 18 GHz
• Return Loss: ≤25 dB maximum
• RF Performance: Superior RF performance
– Key Features
• Direct conversion between APC-7 and SMA (m) connectors
• Wideband operation from DC through 18 GHz
• Controlled return loss for signal integrity preservation
• General-purpose grade construction for routine RF applications
– Typical Applications
• Impedance analyzer interconnection where connector standards differ
• RF test equipment configuration requiring APC-7 to SMA coupling
• Component characterization across DC to microwave frequencies
• Signal routing in mixed-connector RF measurement systems
– Compatibility & Integration
The 11533A mates with any equipment featuring APC-7 connectors (female) and provides a male SMA interface for connection to SMA-compatible instruments and devices. This adapter is suitable for integration into laboratory measurement setups involving impedance analyzers and general RF test equipment where connector adaptation is required between these two standards.
