The Keysight 16048H is a 2-meter 4-terminal pair test lead extension cable engineered for precision impedance measurements with Keysight impedance analyzers and LCR meters. It connects to the instrument’s measurement terminal and terminates in a BNC male connector board that accepts user-fabricated test fixtures, enabling flexible custom measurement setups. The 4-terminal pair configuration delivers the accuracy and repeatability required for characterizing electronic components in R&D, production, and quality assurance workflows.
