Agilent/Keysight Y1902B

The Agilent/Keysight Y1902B is a 50-ohm coaxial adapter that connects 1.0 mm ruggedized and 2.4 mm female connectors for high-frequency measurement applications. Operating from DC to 50 GHz, it enables precise characterization of coaxial devices and components across millimeter-wave frequencies. The adapter delivers typical insertion loss of 0.7 dB while maintaining excellent return-loss repeatability: -35 dB on the 1.0 mm connector and -44 dB on the 2.4 mm connector. This makes it suitable for network analyzer measurements, component testing, and system integration where connector compatibility between different coaxial standards is required.
