– Compatibility & Integration
The 11716D interconnects specifically with Keysight 84904L and 84906L programmable step attenuators. The kit is part of the 11716 series of interconnection solutions designed to cascade multiple Keysight attenuators while maintaining 1 dB resolution. The 3.780 inch overall height specification applies to the assembly with both attenuators mounted. An operating guide for the 11716A/C/D/E/F series is available detailing proper connector integrity and usage procedures.
