-M11 is a plug-in which contains two independent 50 Ohm analog delay lines with 75nS each. Risetime is specified as max. 175pS and attenuation is fixed at two. A separate trigger output is available to eliminate an external power splitter and it is attenuated by a factor of five. The connections are 50-ohm
