Pomona B-36-02 Banana Plug Patch Cord (Set) (Pack of 2)

Very pleased with the product

Pomona makes some of the best cables for multimeters.

Connection points are very tight. No resistance is lost on the leads. Very durable. They have not loosened over time (had for 6 months)

It wasn't long ago that when you ordered cables like this from Pomona they were always insulated with flexible, heat resistant silicone.These new ones are PVC insulated: stiff and easily meltable. The product description says its PVC so it's no surprise, but Pomona's commitment to providing the highest quality just isn't there anymore.

Sometimes I'm apprehensive about ordering name-brand equipment on Amazon. You never know if it's legit merchandise, or a cheap, overseas clone. The seller, Top Dog Test, is selling quality cables. It's genuine Pomona test cables, and he's an honest seller! I ordered 2 pairs, but only recieved 1 pair. As soon as I mentioned that, he messaged back that it was his fault, and he'd be sending another pair out to me. That's the kind of service I like!

The wire gauge and banana plug is good quality on both patch cords.

There are a number of other versions of these that have a protuberance at the end of the plug that makes them incompatible with many banana jacks. These don't have that protuberance, so they always work well.

The only thing you need to know is that these connectors have a 50 ohm resistance inside (+- 10 ohms I believe). Otherwise these things are pretty accurate as I was having accurate results with small errors.
