1 Xtra Long Life 0 million cycles USB RF Switch Matrix 50Ω DC to 8 GHz The Big Deal Mechanical SPDT switch box High reliability, 0 million switch cycles 0W power rating (cold switching) High isolation, 85 db typ Case Style: LM580 Software Package Applications Lab Test equipment Control systems Switching a device in and out of a signal path Product Overview Model No. Description Qty. USB RF Switch Included Accessories AC/DC-4-3W AC/DC 4V Adapter CBL-3W-XX AC Power Cord (see Ordering Information) USB-CBL-AB-3+.7 ft USB cable RoHS Compliant See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications Mini-Circuits is a general purpose RF USB switch matrix. The model contains an electromechanical SPDT, absorptive fail-safe RF switch constructed in break-before-make configuration and powered by +4VDC, with switching time of 5 ms typical. The RF switch operates over a wide frequency band from DC to 8 GHz, has low insertion loss (0. db typical) and high isolation (85 db typical), making the switch matrix perfectly suitable for a wide variety of RF applications. The is constructed in a compact, rugged metal case (4.5 X 6.0 X.5 ) with 3 SMA (F) connectors (COM and ports, ), USB type B port, and DC power input. Full software support is provided and can be downloaded from our website any time at The package includes our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 3-bit and 64-bit systems). Also included is a.7 ft USB cable and AC/DC power adapter. Longer USB cables, and a mounting bracket are available as optional accessories. Key Features Feature USB HID (Human Interface Device) RF SPDT absorptive Electromechanical switch Switch Cycle Counters Advantages User may also control the switch matrix via USB connection. Plug-and-Play, no driver required. Compatible with Windows or Linux operating systems using 3 and 64 bit architecture. Wideband (DC to 8 GHz) with low insertion loss (0. db typ.), very high isolation (85dB typ.), and high power rating (0W cold switching) Allows user to monitor the exact usage and plan test requirements accordingly. Break-before-make configuration Prevents the momentary connection of the old and new signal paths and reduces transient phenomena.
