Cables and adapters
Model 237-ALG-2 Triaxial Cable: This is a 2 m (6.6 ft) low noise triaxial cable terminated with a
3-slot male triaxial connector on one end and three alligator clips on the other.
Model 237-BNC-TRX Adapter: This is a male BNC to 3-lug female triaxial adapter (guard
disconnected). It is used to terminate a triaxial cable with a BNC plug. Suitable for use with the
Model 6517B V-Source in high voltage applications.
Model 237-TRX-T Adapter: This is a 3-slot male to dual 3-lug female triaxial tee adapter for use with
Model 7078-TRX triaxial cables. Suitable for use with the Mode 6517B V-source in high voltage
applications.
Model 237-TRX-TBC Connector: This is a 3-lug female triaxial bulkhead connector with cap for
assembly of custom panels and interface connections. Suitable for use with the Model 6517B
V-source in high voltage applications.
Model 6517B-ILC-3 Interlock Cable: This is a 3 m (9.8 ft) cable terminated with a 4-pin Phoenix
Connector on one end and a 4-pin Switchcraft connector on the other end.
Model 7078-TRX-BNC Adapter: This is a 3-slot male triaxial to female BNC adapter. This adapter
lets you connect a BNC cable to the triaxial input of the Model 6517B. Suitable for use with the
Model 6517B in high voltage applications.
Models 7078-TRX-3, 7078-TRX-10 and 7078-TRX-20 Triaxial Cables: These are low noise triaxial
cables terminated at both ends with 3-slot male triaxial connectors.

Model 7078-TRX-TBC Connector: This is a 3-lug female triaxial bulkhead connector with cap for
assembly of custom panels and interface connections. Suitable for use with the Model 6517B
V-source in high voltage applications.
Models 7007-1 and 7007-2 Shielded IEEE-488 Cables: Connect the Model 6517B to the IEEE-488
bus using shielded cables and connectors to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). The
Model 7007-1 is 1 m in length; the Model 7007-2 has a length of 2 m.
Models 8501-1 and 8501-2 Trigger Link Cables: Connect the Model 6517B to other instruments
with trigger link connectors (for example, Model 7001 Switch System). The Model 8501-1 is 1 m long;
the Model 8501-2 is 2 m long.
Model 8502 Trigger Link Adapter: Allows you to connect the trigger link of the Model 6517B to
instruments that use the standard BNC (in/out) external triggering technique.
Model 8606 High Performance Probe Tip Kit: Consists of two spade lugs, two alligator clips, and
two spring hook test probes. (The spade lugs and alligator clips are rated at 30 V RMS, 42.4 V peak;
the test probes are rated at 1000 V.) These components are designed to be used with high
performance test leads terminated with banana plugs, such as the Model 8607 High Performance
Banana Cables.
Model 8607 High Performance Banana Cables: Consists of two high voltage (1000 V) banana
cables. The cables are terminated with banana plugs that have retractable sheaths.
CS-751 Barrel Adapter: This is a barrel adapter that allows you to connect two triaxial cables
together. Both ends of the adapter are terminated with 3-lug female triaxial connectors.
