The RC-2SPDT-A18 is a mechanical switch assembly containing two independently controlled, absorptive SPDT switches, each operating from DC to 18 GHz with low insertion loss and high isolation. It features a rugged metal case measuring 4.5 x 6.0 x 2.25 inches with SMA female RF connectors on the front panel. The switches support break-before-make operation, are fail-safe with a 5 million cycle lifetime, and revert to a default state on power loss. Control is via USB or Ethernet, including SSH for secure communication, with LED indicators for switch state. The unit operates within 0 to +40°C ambient temperature and is powered by a +24 V DC supply.
Mini-Circuits’ RC-2SPDT-A18 houses 2 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 fail safe 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 6.0 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).
