Matrix Switch (Blocking) System

Rack Mount Version
OVERVIEW
The purpose of the unit is to provide protection to the RF power amplifiers and/or radios due
to damage to antenna systems or connection to inappropriate antennas. This can be used as
a standalone product or in conjunction with our tunable filter and/or fixed filters.
 Technical Specifications
• Switches are available in 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 configuration.
– Configurations up to 24x24 can be developed on request.
• Blocking, latching switches to reduce power consumption.
• 24 – 28V operating voltage.
• SMA input and TNC output connectors. Swappable on request.
• Features front panel control, RSxxx USB and Ethernet communication.
• Frequency range DC - 26.5GHz.
• Power rating 5kW @ 1-100MHz, 1kW @ 1-1Ghz.
• Suitable for land, sea and air operation.
• Option of 3103 or 3106 stainless steel housing.
