Agilent / Keysight 85520A 4-in-1 OSLT Mechanical Calibration Kit, DC to 26.5 GHz, Type-3.5 mm (m) 50 ohm

The Keysight 85520A is a 4-in-1 OSLT mechanical calibration kit engineered for precise network analyzer calibration across DC to 26.5 GHz. Equipped with Open, Short, Load, and Through standards, this kit corrects systematic measurement errors in RF and microwave characterization. The Type-3.5 mm male connector with 50-ohm impedance enables calibration of non-insertable devices such as cables and filters with male-to-male connectors.
