Overview
The Pomona Electronics 2249-K-60 is a pre-assembled coaxial cable designed for precision test and measurement applications. This 60-inch cable features BNC male connectors on both ends and RG-174/U cable construction, making it ideal for laboratory work, bench testing, and equipment interconnection. Pomona Electronics has been a trusted supplier of test cables and connectors since 1951, delivering reliability across legacy and modern measurement systems.
Key Features
- BNC Male to BNC Male Connectors — Standard 50-ohm impedance connectors with nickel tarnish-resistant outer shells
- RG-174/U Cable — 26 AWG flexible stranded conductor with PE insulation and black PVC jacket
- 60-Inch Length (1.5 Meter) — Practical working distance for benchtop and equipment-mounted applications
- Molded Strain Relief — Bonded directly to the cable jacket for superior strength and durability during repeated handling
- Impedance Matched — Cable and connectors are matched for consistent signal integrity across test frequencies
