The Keysight Y1158A is a cable kit that supplies all components necessary to construct two custom cables for Keysight multifunction switch and measure mainframe systems. Built to support flexible interconnection between Y1153A and Y1154A modules, this kit enables engineers to assemble either 10-to-10-pin or 10-to-14-pin IDC configurations tailored to specific test setups.
Technical Specifications
The kit contains 2 meters of 10-conductor ribbon cable—sufficient to build two complete assemblies with user-defined lengths. IDC (Insulation-Displacement Connector) female connectors are supplied in two configurations: four 10-pin connectors and two 14-pin connectors. Strain relief components match each connector type, with four 10-pin and two 14-pin units included.
– Key Features
• Dual cable construction from single kit—builds two independent assemblies
• 10-conductor ribbon cable accommodates standard mainframe signal requirements
• Field-configurable connector pinouts (10-pin or 14-pin IDC female)
• Strain reliefs protect connector interfaces against mechanical stress
• User-defined cable lengths from provided 2-meter ribbon stock
• IDC connectors eliminate soldering, reducing assembly time and contact resistance variability
Technical Specifications
Connector Type: IDC female (10-pin and 14-pin)
Cable Conductor Count: 10
Ribbon Cable Length: 2 meters total
Supported Configurations: 10-to-10-pin or 10-to-14-pin
– Compatibility & Integration
The Y1158A integrates directly with Keysight Y1153A and Y1154A multifunction switch/measure modules. Module-level integration eliminates the need for external cable sourcing, reducing procurement lead time and ensuring impedance match across the signal chain. The kit’s flexible construction approach accommodates both standard rack configurations and custom system layouts without additional hardware.
