Needs help of HP 8510 cable DIY
(1/1)
BillyGo:
Basically, I got a set of HP 8510C for free recently, but it didn't come with any original cable.

It needs some non universal cable that costs more than 400$ on ebay, I probably need to figure out a way to make them myself.



08510-60101 for connection between VNA and display, both male 37 D-SUB on each side.


08510-60102 for IF signal between S-parameter test set, 24W7 D-SUB with coaxial contact, one male and female on the other.


I ordered the right connector already, now the problem is to findout the correct order. Can anyone with 8510 check their pinout of these two with a multimeter?

Thanks for any related clues. :-+

I thought I could find it in the service manual, but there was no schematic.

The block diagram in the service manual was too basic.


This guy obviously doesn't provide the best offer  |O

Hi,
Here are some pics of the 2 cables for the HP 8510 system in question
They are 1 to 1
Both cables are fully sheilded, with the sheild at both ends connected to the metal cases and Not to any pins.
The 08510-60101 cable- Pin 37 is NOT connected at both ends
BillyGo:
Thank you so much!!

Looks like 08510-60101 can be replaced by any normal DB37 cable!

I couldn't identify whether the signal wires of 08510-60102 were twisted pairs. From the picture they were the same as the none twisted cable inside 08510-60101. I might try with some normal 23AWG cables for my DIY first.
