Periodically inspect the barrel of theprobe receptacle, making sure it is clean and free of grit. Clean the receptacle withclean compressed air.When cascading 10:1 dividers, periodically inspect and clean the exterior of themetal sleeve.Divider ratio 10:1Input capacitance Typically <0.7 pFInput resistance 1 MWInput voltage for 1 dB compression 3.0 volts peak [a][a] When used with the active probe.Maximum rated DC input voltage ±50 voltsMaximum rated RF input voltage 15 volts peakFrequency range Same as the active probe (300 kHz to 3 GHz)
