The Keysight (Agilent) 8493A is a coaxial fixed attenuator offering precise attenuation with a flat frequency response and low SWR from DC to 12.4 GHz. Designed with SMA male and female connectors, it handles up to 2 W average and 100 W peak input power. The unit is available in 3 dB, 6 dB, and 10–30 dB (in 10 dB steps) attenuation values, and includes a nameplate chart showing calibration points. Swept-frequency testing guarantees compliance across all specified frequencies.
Ideal for RF applications demanding consistent attenuation, the 8493A performs reliably across a wide frequency range and maintains superior RF performance in high-power environments.
