The SAVer cables are designed to ‘save’ the instrument front panel from dirt, scratches and potentially expensive
repairs and downtime. When the SAVer cable is used with the high quality mating adapter, MAAD-FC, your front
panels will stay clean without adding loss. The SAVer cable can be repolished or replaced quickly and easily.
Once connected to the instrument, this SAVer cable would not be disconnected for normal referencing and testing.
Note: Clean and inspect SAVer cable with every mating
