The Keysight 83059C is a precision 3.5 mm coaxial adapter engineered for high-performance RF and microwave test environments. It connects 3.5 mm male to 3.5 mm female connectors with minimal signal loss and exceptional repeatability. This adapter protects sensitive test port connectors from damage while maintaining measurement integrity across demanding applications, including adapter swap calibrations on network analyzers for non-insertable device testing.
