AC Current with Guard Triaxial cable
Wideband AC 3 feet (1m) 50Ω coaxial cable with
Type “N” male connector supplied
with the option. A 50Ω feedthrough
terminator is also supplied for
connecting to meters with impedance
higher than 50Ω.
Voltage-Boosted
Output, 5205A or 5215A
Use the cable supplied with the
amplifier.
Voltage-Boosted
Output, 5725A
Low Thermal EMF Test Leads
(5440A-7002). (Output is at the
Calibrator front panel.)
Current-Boosted Output,
5725A, 5220A
16-gauge or heavier twisted-pair
insulated wire, as short as possible to
minimize resistance and inductance.
(Output is at the amplifier terminals.)
