Tektronix Introduces TAP1500L as the Only Commercially Available Active Single-Ended Probe Utilizing a Seven-Meter Probe Cable

Tektronix announces the launch of the TAP1500L, a groundbreaking active, single-ended probe equipped with a seven-meter probe cable. The launch of the TAP1500L probe underscores Tektronix’s unwavering commitment to pioneering probing technology, building off the success of the company’s IsoVu™ Probe which has the ability to virtually eliminate common mode interference using optical isolation.

A modification to the existing TAP1500 active single-ended probe, this new version features a cable that is 5.7 meters longer than the original. The TAP1500L addresses a critical need for engineers: the ability to perform automated tests with greater flexibility and safety. Fitting for Flying Probe end-users and manufacturers, the device helps to effectively and safely conduct testing while allowing greater flexibility for customers to position test stations for unique needs, with no loss in performance.

Even with the 7-meter cable, the TAP1500L offers ≥1.5 GHz bandwidth, <267 ps rise time, and ≤1 pF input capacitance, ensuring accurate signal acquisition for high-speed designs (more info).
