Mini-Circuits’ ZTRC-8SPDT-A26 houses 8 independently controlled electro-mechanical SPDT switches. Each switch operates over an extremely wide bandwidth, from DC to 26.5 GHz with high isolation and low insertion loss. The absorptive switches are failsafe, with a break-before-make configuration, and lifetime of 5 million switching cycles when used within the noted specifications.
The switches are housed in a compact 19-inch rack chassis, 2U height, with all SMA (female) RF connectors on the front. LED switch state indicators on the front panel enable visual display of all switch states. The switch assembly can be controlled via USB or Ethernet (supporting SSH, HTTP and Telnet network protocols). Full software support is provided, including our userfriendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments.
