Description

8496A | Manual attenuator 0-110 dB, 0-4 GHz


With the 8496A manual step attenuator, a signal attenuation of 0 to 110 dB can be set manually in 10 dB steps at a bandwidth of 0 Hz to 4 GHz.
Within the frequency range up to 4 GHz, it offers very good stability and repeatability of the attenuation. This is achieved through gold-plated spring contacts, which also guarantee a long service life - over 5 million switching cycles - with a repeat accuracy of typically 0.01 dB.
The UK6 option offers greater accuracy and traceability to the NIST standard (SWR (standing wave ratio) and attenuation).
Higher attenuations can be achieved by connecting several attenuators in series. The connection sets 11716A / B / C offer a quick connection to the attenuators 8494/5/6/7 which have an attenuator gradation of 1 dB or 10 dB.
