The Tektronix P6202 is a 500 MHz active 10× FET probe with 50 Ω output impedance, introduced in 1976.
The 6202 has its own mains power supply, the 6202A (1980) has a LEMO S-series connector fitting the 7000-series scopes' probe power outlets.

Internals
An initial 8 MΩ : 2 MΩ divider drives a dual JFET (source follower + current source), a PNP emitter follower and finally an NPN emitter follower as a cable driver. These stages use SMD components located in the probe tip. The probe control box at the end of the coax only contains a ±7 V regulator, a switchable 50 Ω terminator, and the offset potentiometers that supply ±15 V to the bottom of the input divider. There is no input protection apart from the divider.
