Product Description
The TekConnect-292D adapter allows you to
connect 2.92 mm and SMA-terminated devices
to Tektronix instruments with the TekConnect
interface. The adapter preserves maximum signal
integrity and eliminates the need for additional
external adapters, which can degrade voltage
standing wave ratio (VSWR).
