Keysight / Agilent / HP 54002A 50 Ohm BNC Input Pod

The Keysight/Agilent/HP 54002A is a 50 Ohm BNC input pod designed for high-performance signal acquisition across digitizing oscilloscopes and probe multiplexers. This female BNC interface accessory maintains signal integrity and minimizes reflections in demanding test environments by providing matched 50 Ohm impedance for BNC-terminated signal paths.
