Needs help of HP 8510 cable DIY

[BillyGo]

Basically, I got a set of HP 8510C for free recently, but it didn't come with any original cable.

It needs some non universal cable that costs more than 400$ on ebay, I probably need to figure out a way to make them myself.



08510-60101 for connection between VNA and display, both male 37 D-SUB on each side.


08510-60102 for IF signal between S-parameter test set, 24W7 D-SUB with coaxial contact, one male and female on the other.


I ordered the right connector already, now the problem is to findout the correct order. Can anyone with 8510 check their pinout of these two with a multimeter?

Thanks for any related clues.

I thought I could find it in the service manual, but there was no schematic.

The block diagram in the service manual was too basic.


This guy obviously doesn't provide the best offer

Hi,
Here are some pics of the 2 cables for the HP 8510 system in question
They are 1 to 1
Both cables are fully sheilded, with the sheild at both ends connected to the metal cases and Not to any pins.
The 08510-60101 cable- Pin 37 is NOT connected at both ends

Thank you so much!!

Looks like 08510-60101 can be replaced by any normal DB37 cable!

I couldn't identify whether the signal wires of 08510-60102 were twisted pairs. From the picture they were the same as the none twisted cable inside 08510-60101. I might try with some normal 23AWG cables for my DIY first.
