The E9288A is a 1.5-meter power sensor cable engineered to connect compatible power sensors to power meters in RF and microwave measurement systems. This blue interconnect cable is essential infrastructure for accurate power measurement across broadband test applications, supporting the full range of Keysight’s 8480 series and E-series power sensor families. The cable eliminates measurement errors and signal degradation that result from improper connections or inadequate shielding. Available in three standard lengths—1.5 meters (E9288A), 10 feet (E9288B), and 31 feet (E9288C)—the E9288A accommodates bench-top and rack-mounted configurations where shorter cable runs are preferred.
