Achieve phase stability with this 96.5-cm cable when a DUT is connected, with adapter, directly to the test set port.
The Keysight 85131E is a 96.5 cm (38 in) long1 flexible cable with a 3.5 mm female2 to PSC-3.5 mm female connector. Cable frequency range is dc to 26.5 GHz with a return loss greater or equal to 16 dB. Insertion loss is 0.35 * sqrt(f) + 0.3, where f is frequency in GHz, for the test port connector and 2.1 dB at maximum frequency for the device connector.
Phase stability of semi-rigid/flexible cables is specified with a 90 degree bend using a 4 to 3 inch radius. Stability1 of the Keysight 85131E is less than 0.22 dB and phase is 0.16 * f + 0.8, where f is frequency in GHz.
Notes:
¹ Cable length and stability are supplemental characteristics.
² Special rugged female connector is designed specifically for connecting to the network analyzer test port, but does not mate with a standard male connector.
