Series scope
• 1:1 and 10:1 attenuation
• 20 MHz to 500 MHz
Rugged, high-quality probes
at a reasonable price
Agilent 10070-family passive
probes are a great choice if you’re
looking for high quality at a very
reasonable price. These generalpurpose probes are designed
specifically to give you optimal
performance with your 5000
and 6000 Series oscilloscopes.
Ruggedized for general-purpose
measurements, they feature a
durable cable and a solid stainless
steel probe body encased with a
hard, fracture-resistant plastic.
They’re designed and tested to
ensure the probes operate in
the toughest of conditions The
N2863A low-cost passive probe
provides a 10:1 attenuation and
features a high input resistance
of 10 MΩ.
Probes come with the following
accessories:
• General-purpose retractable
hook tip hooks onto wires and
test points for hands-free
probing
• Ground bayonet provides
short, flexible ground lead for
high-frequency measurements
• General-purpose alligator clip
ground lead for versatile
grounding
• Color tags (2 orange, 2 white,
2 blue and 2 green) to place at
both ends of probe cable to
help you quickly identify probes
