Title: What test instrument is BNC jumper the from?
Post by: graybeard on July 31, 2024, 05:50:48 am

This BNC jumper came with many RF adapters & terminations from disassembled test racks.  It looks like it was part a piece of test gear.
The BNC centers are exactly 1.8" apart.
A part number on on of the BNC connector is 28AU100-1
The date code is 4991 which I assume means the 49th week of 1991.
Do you have any idea what this is from?

Thank you,
Chris

Most commonly, these fit the REF OUT to REF IN BNCs on the back of HP/Agilent 859x spectrum analyzers.  Their part number is 1250-1499.

People remove these from equipment and sell them individually, which is irritating when buying the equipment.  The all metal ones, like you have, sell for ridiculous prices.

thats a nice connector, very stable. The newer ones I think are more modular with sliding contacts so you can adjust their spacing but IMO this one is nicer, its just really specific
