The Keysight 11730A is a 5-foot power sensor and SNS noise source cable engineered to deliver accurate, low-loss connections between power sensors and compatible power meters or noise figure analyzers. Enhanced shielding design actively reduces Radio Frequency Interference effects, making it particularly valuable for low-power measurement applications where signal integrity is critical.
Technical Specifications
• Cable Length: 5 feet (1.5 meters)
• Product Type: Power Sensor / SNS Noise Source Cable
• Shielding: Improved design to reduce RFI effects on low-power readings
– Key Features
• Low-loss construction optimized for precision power measurements
• RFI-suppressing shielding specifically engineered for sensitive, low-power applications
• Standard 5-foot length accommodates typical bench and rack-mount configurations
• Part of a modular cable series (11730A/B/C/D/E) available in multiple lengths for flexible system design
– Typical Applications
• Single-channel and dual-channel power measurement systems
• Noise figure analysis with SNS series noise sources
• Low-power RF characterization where RFI rejection is essential
• Integration with power meters and noise figure analyzers requiring shielded sensor connections
– Compatibility & Integration
The 11730A connects to the following sensor families:
• Keysight/Agilent/HP N8480 Series power sensors
• Keysight/Agilent/HP 8480 Series power sensors
• Keysight/Agilent/HP E-series power sensors (excluding E9320 family peak and average sensors)
• SNS series noise sources for NFA Series Noise Figure Analyzers
Cables may be ordered individually or in pairs to support multi-channel configurations. When using Option K01 bulkhead adapters with cable runs exceeding 60 meters (200 feet), additional cable capacitance may affect FET sampling gate balance in HP 8484A Power Sensors, requiring manual zero adjustments. Extended cable lengths beyond 60 meters may introduce increased noise and zero drift, particularly with the HP 8484A.
