The Rigol RP3500A is a 500 MHz passive probe engineered for precision oscilloscope measurements across general-purpose and laboratory environments. Built with a 10:1 attenuation ratio and 10 MΩ ± 2% input impedance, this probe minimizes circuit loading while delivering stable, high-fidelity signal acquisition. The 1.4 m cable and comprehensive accessory kit—including retractable hook tip, adjustment tool, marker rings, and dual ground springs—enable flexible probe positioning and secure connections in diverse test setups.
