Use SMA for Precision 3.5 connector?

Greets,

I just bought a used 54122T Oscope system which is supposed to measure
signals up to 12.5 GHz.

The manual for the test set, where the probe is connected to the scope, says
to use a APC-3.5 connector to connect the probe to the test set.

More specifically, this is a Precision 3.5mm female-to-female connector.

Is there any reason I could not use a SMA connector here?

Aren't these supposed to be able to nicely pass signals up to 20 GHz or so?

-TIA, jw
