Mini-Circuits Blocking Switch Matrix, 12 x 12, 0.6 - 6 GHz, 5U, SMA ZT-12X12B

Mini-Circuits’ ZT-12X12B is a high-performance, 12 by 12 blocking switch matrix, operating over a wide bandwidth from 600 MHz to 6 GHz. The system is integrated into a compact, 4U height, 19-inch rack-mountable chassis with 12 RF ports (A1 to A12) on the front panel and 12 RF ports (B1 to B12) on the rear, all SMA female. The blocking configuration supports 12 active switch paths at any time, with each of the 12 “A” ports able to connect to any of the 12 “B” ports in a one-to-one arrangement. The matrix is bi-directional so the “A” and “B” ports can be used interchangeably as both inputs and outputs. The switch matrix can be controlled via USB or Ethernet (supporting SSH, HTTP, and Telnet network protocols). 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. The daisy-chain control interface further simplifies control integration by allowing multiple switch racks to be interconnected via their respective serial in and out connections. The complete set of daisy-chained matrices can then be independently controlled through a single USB / Ethernet connection.
