The TA050 attenuator set consists of four coaxial attenuators designed for use with signals up to 1 GHz. Each attenuator has a male and a female BNC connector.

 

 

Usage note

The TA050 attenuators must be used with a matched 50–ohm source and load. If you wish to attenuate a signal before feeding it into a high–impedance measuring instrument, you must add a 50–ohm feedthrough terminator such as the Pico Technology TA051 feedthrough terminator.
