The Agilent/Keysight 85132E is a flexible coaxial cable assembly that connects 3.5 mm test ports to 7 mm interfaces across DC to 18 GHz. Built for RF and microwave testing environments, it delivers consistent signal transmission where measurement integrity is critical. The 3.5 mm female connector is a rugged type designed specifically for network analyzer test ports, providing secure mating without compatibility with standard male connectors.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: DC to 18 GHz
• Length: 97.2 cm (38.25 inches)
• Connectors: 3.5 mm female (test port) to 7 mm female

• Phase Response: 0.16 × f + 0.8 degrees (where f = frequency in GHz)
– Key Features
• Flexible coaxial design for field routing and reconfiguration
• Rugged 3.5 mm female connector engineered for repeated network analyzer connections
• Low return loss across the full frequency band
• Frequency-dependent insertion loss and phase characteristics specified to 18 GHz
• Phase stability maintained under standard bend conditions
– Typical Applications
• Network analysis and S-parameter measurements
• Filter and component testing
• Reflection and transmission measurements
• High-frequency signal routing in RF/microwave labs
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for reflection/transmission test sets and network analyzer systems with 3.5 mm NMD ports. Bridges legacy 7 mm equipment to modern 3.5 mm test port architectures. Compatible with HP 8510 network analyzers and equivalent systems supporting both connector types.
