The Keysight/Agilent/HP 85662-60094 is a 50-pin ribbon bus interconnection cable that links the display unit to the RF unit in compatible spectrum analyzers. This cable maintains critical signal integrity and data transfer between system modules. Measuring approximately 22 inches in length, it features a Centronics-type 50-pin connector design and is factory-tested using a custom VXI-based system controlled by LabVIEW software. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Compliance.
## Technical Specifications
• Model: 85662-60094
• Connector Type: 50-pin ribbon (Centronics-type)
• Cable Length: Approximately 22 inches
• Pin Count: 50
• Connector Configuration: Standard version with fixed jack screws (longer screws available upon request for “A” version RF units with recessed micro-ribbon connectors)
## Key Features
• VXI-based factory testing with LabVIEW control ensures functional integrity before shipment
• 50-pin ribbon connector design minimizes cross-talk and maintains signal fidelity
• Contact surfaces require periodic inspection and cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free materials to prevent intermittent operation
• Each cable receives a unique serial number and test certificate
• Certificate of Compliance provided at no additional cost
## Typical Applications
• Display-to-RF unit interconnection in bench-top spectrum analyzer systems
• High-reliability test signal routing in RF measurement configurations
• OEM integration in legacy spectrum analyzer assemblies
## Compatibility & Integration
Direct compatibility with Keysight 8566A, 8566B, 8567, 8568A, and 8568B spectrum analyzer models. For systems equipped with tracking generator options, the separate 85662-60220 model is available, which includes SMA connector access to the sweep in/out signal. The standard 85662-60094 addresses non-tracking-generator configurations.
