The Keysight N2894A is a passive oscilloscope probe engineered for general-purpose signal integrity measurements on densely populated circuits. Operating at 700 MHz bandwidth with 10:1 attenuation, the probe delivers low loading characteristics and minimal signal distortion. Its compact 2.5 mm probe head diameter, 9.5 pF input capacitance, and fine-pitch accessory set make it ideal for probing surface-mount devices and closely spaced IC pins without compromising measurement fidelity.
