Mini-Circuits Mechanical Switch Assembly, 2 x SP6T, DC - 12 GHz, Dual Power Supply, 2U, SMA ZT-2SP6T-12DPS

Mini-Circuits’ ZT-2SP6T-12DPS houses 2 independently controlled electro-mechanical SP6T switches. Each switch operates over a wide bandwidth, from DC to 12 GHz with high isolation and low insertion loss. The absorptive switches are failsafe, with a break-before-make configuration, and lifetime of 10 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 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 system includes a dual redundant power supply configuration which ensures reliable long-term operation in environments where interruptions in service cannot be tolerated. Connecting the two AC power supply inputs to separate AC sources ensures the system can continue operation in the event of a failure in either one of them. The system will seamlessly transition to the auxiliary AC source in the event of an interruption to the main source and then back when the main source is restored; all without any interruption or down time to switch operation and communication.
