Risk of damaging the probe due to excess heat
When using the R&S
RT-ZA26 pigtail cable, do not expose the R&S
RT-
ZPR20/40 probe box to temperatures outside the valid range (see
on page 19). Excess heat can damage the
probe.

SMA Extension Cable
The supplied SMA extension cable is a semi-permanent screw connection that
supports the full bandwidth of the probe.
The SMA extension cable is well suited for
connections to existing SMA (m) ports at your
test circuit. Due to the design of the coaxial
interface, ground loop impedance is mini-
mized. Thus, this connection provides highest
signal integrity. Connection to other coaxial
interfaces like SMA (f), BNC, SMP, SMB is
possible using the appropriate adapter.
Coaxial adapters are not part of the R&S
RT-
ZPR20/40 accessories set.
