Maintains nominal system impedance and preserves signal integrity across the interface, with no active electronics or amplification. Enables cross-compatibility of probes or modules by preserving calibration references, connector alignment, and shielding. Suitable for test setups requiring seamless interconnection between accessory families, supporting standard coaxial or multi-pin connectors and basic attenuation paths as defined by the interface specifications. ## Images - - - -
