Mini-Circuits’ RCM-6SPDT-18 comprises six independently controlled, electro-mechanical SPDT switches. Each switch operates over a wide bandwidth, from DC to 18 GHz with high isolation (85 dB typical), low insertion loss (0.2 dB typical) and high input power rating. The switches are of a fail-safe and break-before-make-configuration, with a typical life time of 10 million switching cycles when used within the noted specifications.
The switch box is constructed in a compact, rugged metal case (8.25 x 8.25 x 4.25”) 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).
