It is used in Agilent power meter connecting power reference socket to to power source on the board.
-
My best guess is that it is SMC connector. Can someone confirm it?
Thank you

If it's Agilent then it's most likely SMC.
They love SMB and SMC.
Measure the OD of the non-threaded section. It should be between 3.63 and 3.71 mm.

Yep looks like SMC to me too. I haven't personally seen them so much in test gear but i did see a lot of SMB in HP gear.
-
SMC I think

It is an SMC, i had the same problem with the connector in my frequency meter. Do you need one, after I've broke mine I've got some spares to accommodate for future screw-ups.

I need right angle plug, i am going to fabricate SMC to SMA cable. I have found inexpensive on Chibay but it is crimp type. Now i wonder can i crimp it without special tool which i found nice on digikey for ~$200 for all sorts of coax connectors.
So i think buying it for future projects or i can crimp it with pliers and some magic.
Can you share what you have done?

Got right angle SMC and used my new crimping tool, worked like a charm.
I can now accept crimping requests for any coax connectors :-+
PS It would be impossible to crimp without proper tool, pliers flatten tube and it stays loose. Also tool has properly set force to not destroy connector.
So fo $230 i have tool for coax connectors also had to buy rotary stripping tool which cuts nice external isolation the cuts shield then cuts internal isolator and it is additional $30. total 270 with shipment.
Keysight sells this cable assembly E4418-61811 for $302 and you have to be a business to able to order parts from them.
It is even cheaper to get broken meter for just this part :)
