Keysight (Agilent) N5444A InfiniiMax III 2.92 mm/3.5 mm/SMA Probe Head

The Keysight N5444A InfiniiMax III probe head is a differential probe accessory designed for high-speed signal acquisition in digital and microwave test environments. It accepts 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, or SMA coaxial cables and integrates with InfiniiMax III and III+ probe amplifiers to enable single-channel differential measurements on compatible oscilloscopes.

– Technical Specifications

– Key Features

• Accepts two coaxial cables for true differential measurements on a single oscilloscope channel
• Termination to adjustable common DC voltage rather than ground—essential for modern signal standards
• Termination voltage controlled internally via oscilloscope or externally through supplied DC jack
• Compatible with all InfiniiMax III and InfiniiMax III+ probe amplifiers (N7000/1/2/3A, N2830/1/2A, N2800/1/2/3A)
• Optional cable extensions available: N5448B flex cables (10″ or 25 cm) and N2823A cables (1 m) in 2.92 mm format

– Typical Applications

• High-speed digital signal integrity measurements
• Differential impedance characterization
• Microwave component testing
• Multi-Gbps serial protocol analysis

– Compatibility & Integration

The N5444A operates with Keysight Infiniium 90000 X-Series and 90000-Q Series oscilloscopes. For use with the 86100D DCA-X sampling oscilloscope, an N5477A Sampling Scope Adapter is required.
