With PSCs on test ports and standards, the percentage of accuracy achieved when measuring at 50 dB return loss levels is comparable to using conventional slotted connectors measuring devices having only 30 dB return loss. This represents an accuracy improvement of about 10 times. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide...
Improper connections, resulting from pin depth values being out of the observed limits (see Table 2-3 on page 2-3) or from bad connection techniques, can also damage these devices. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide...
With experience you will be able to see changes in the reference responses that indicate a need to perform the measurement calibration again. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide...

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the test port. 4. Remove the short from the cable. Refer to Chapter 6, “Replaceable Parts.” for part numbers and instructions for ordering ESD protection devices. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide3-1...
Other small defects and cosmetic imperfections are also normal. None of these affect electrical or mechanical performance. If a connector shows deep scratches or dents, particles clinging to the mating plane surfaces, or uneven wear, clean and inspect it again. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide...
A connector with damaged contact fingers will not make good electrical contact and must be replaced. This is particularly important when you are mating nonprecision to precision devices. Keysight 85033E User’s and Service Guide...
