connector to the Return Loss module output.
Agilent Technologies supplies patchcords with a Diamond HMS-
10/Agilent/HRL high return loss connector on one end. These patchcords
are necessary so that the connector at the output is not damaged. The full
range of patchcords available are described in Table 12 .
