In the 1983 catalog, HP lists 2 different sets of BNC cables: the 10501/2/3A
series and the 11170A/B/C series (p. 640). Both are listed as using
50ohm coaxial cable. The first series says it uses UG-88C/U BNC (m)
connectors and the second series uses BNC (m) connectors. What are the
differences between these cable assemblies (apart from any length
differences)?
Any idea what type of coaxial cable HP used for these? How do they stand
up to cables today? I did find one picture of the bag for the 11170C
online that said the cable was double shielded, and with the label HV
(presumably, high-voltage). So, maybe the 11170 series is designed for
high voltage applications? I would imagine that also improves the
isolation characteristics.
Thanks,
Matt
