The Agilent/Keysight 85133-60017 is a 63 cm flexible test port cable designed for network analyzer applications in RF and microwave testing. This female-to-male 2.4 mm connector cable operates from DC to 50 GHz and delivers the electrical performance and mechanical reliability required in precision measurement environments.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: DC to 50 GHz
• Connector Configuration: NMD-2.4 mm female to 2.4 mm male
• Cable Length: 63 cm (25 inches)
• Return Loss: ≥15 dB
• Insertion Loss (Test Port Connector): 0.450 + 0.013F + 0.300√F dB, where F is frequency in GHz
• Insertion Loss (Device Connector): 3.22 dB maximum at 50 GHz
• Phase Response: 0.08°f + 0.5°, where f is frequency in GHz
• Phase Stability (90° bend, 2.5-inch radius): <0.08 dB
• Minimum Bend Radius: 4 inches (10 cm)
– Key Features
• NMD Connectors: Non-Magnetic Drive design with enlarged coupling threads delivers enhanced stability during mating and unmating cycles.
• Flexible Construction: Enables routing in confined test setups without compromising electrical performance.
• Center Conductor Durability: Resistant to typical laboratory handling; avoid tight bends, excessive stretching, or repeated flexing to maintain electrical integrity.
• Set Configuration: The 85133-60017 is supplied as part of the 85133F flexible cable set, which includes both female-female and female-male variants.
– Typical Applications
• Network analyzer measurements on components and subassemblies
• RF and microwave characterization up to 50 GHz
• Precision impedance and reflection measurements
• Test port connections requiring enhanced mechanical repeatability
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for Keysight network analyzers equipped with male NMD-2.4 mm test ports, including the 8510C, 8517B, and 83651B. The female slotted NMD test port connector is not compatible with standard male connectors; use only with NMD-equipped instruments.
