Precision AutoCal Kits
36585V-Series Precision AutoCal Modules can be used with MS4642A or MS4644A VNAs with adapters. The calibration range is limited to that of the VNA.
Only the 36585V-2MF and 36585K-2MF Precision AutoCal Modules can be used with the 366xX-1 Verification Kits.
The 36585K-Series Precision AutoCal Kits can be used with MS4645A or MS4647A VNAs with adapters. The calibration range is limited to 40 GHz.

Standard AutoCal Kit
40 MHz to 20 GHz, K (m) to K (f)
Standard AutoCal Kit Matched Adapters
Matched adapters are recommended only for use with the 36581KKF Standard AutoCal Module. The standard AutoCal module can be ordered with connector adapters which assume the use of K (m) test port cables. These adapters can be also used on the Precision AutoCal modules, but with some degradation of precision. See Calibration Overview for available calibration modules, tools, and accessories.
