The Keysight (Agilent) 16048D is a 2-meter four-terminal-pair BNC test cable engineered for precision LCR and impedance analysis measurements. It extends the measurement port of compatible instruments, enabling connection to user-fabricated test fixtures via four BNC male connectors on the instrument side and four BNC female connectors on the device-under-test side. The cable delivers terminated-coaxial construction optimized for accurate component characterization across DC to 30 MHz.
