z Triax is not necessary...bias currents are > 1 nA.
Use triax to coax adapters with floating guard.

Above 1 nA guarding is of little use. Cable capacitance has a negligible effect on the bias port. Use
the floating guard triax(m) to BNC(f) adapter at the B1500A rear panel. Then use standard coax
BNC cables. Use sense to minimize series resistance error. 100 mV errors can occur in bias voltages
if remote sensing is not used.
Some recent bias tees from Agilent Technologies are specially designed to mate easily to triax SMU
ports.
