The AC0018A and AC0029A RF cables are “smart” cables that help you to ease the interconnection and front-end protection on the oscilloscope. These cables have an AutoProbe pod added to correct for cable loss automatically, which results in automatic removal of skew with extremely high accuracy. Additionally, the ESD Discharger port on the pod helps you protect the sensitive scope inputs.

Bending these cables at too tight a radius or twisting the cables can cause damage, reduce performance, and impact the precision of these cables. Also, ensure that the plastic caps that are provided with these cables are installed when the cables are not in use.
