Product Description：
Keysight Technologies 8495B Manual Attenuator is a manual step attenuator with a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz. It features high repeatability and high reliability, making it suitable for a variety of RF testing scenarios. The 8495B Manual Attenuator offers an attenuation range of 0 to 70 dB in 10 dB steps. It adopts precision gold-plated leaf springs, which ensure a long service life (over 5 million cycles) and extremely high attenuation repeatability (typically 0.01 dB). For connector options, this attenuator is available with N-type female, SMA female, or APC-7 connectors. Additionally, it can be cascaded with other 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators via the 11716A/B/C interconnection kit to achieve a wider dynamic range.
Features：
Wide Frequency Range: Covering DC to 18 GHz, it can meet the testing requirements of various RF and microwave frequency bands.
Low Insertion Loss: The insertion loss at 0 dB is 0.4 dB + 0.07 dB/GHz, which helps reduce energy loss during signal transmission and ensures the integrity of test signals.
Low VSWR: The maximum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is 1.35 at 8 GHz, 1.5 at 12.4 GHz, and 1.7 at 18 GHz. This indicates excellent matching performance between the attenuator and the transmission line, effectively minimizing signal reflection.
