Mini-Circuits’ RC 8SPDT A18 contains eight independently controlled, electro mechanical SPDT switches. Each switch operates over an extremely wide bandwidth, from DC to 18 GHz with high isolation and low insertion loss. The absorptive switches are of a failsafe and break before make configuration, with a lifetime of 5 million switching cycles per switch when used within the noted specifications.
The switch box is constructed in a compact, rugged metal case (4.5 x 12.0 x 2.25”) with all SMA (f) RF connectors on the front panel. The switches are controlled via USB or Ethernet, allowing control directly from a PC, or remotely over a network. Full software support is provided, including our user friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32 bit and 64 bit systems).
