1 Xtra Long Life 100 million cycles USB RF-SPDT Switch DC to 18GHz The Big Deal Capable of 100 million cycles Wide frequency (DC to 18GHz) High power, 10W 4 SPDT electromechanical, absorptive, RF switches (Isolation 85 db typ.) configurable into a SP5T switch USB HID device, includes control software with an API DLL com object compatible with 32/64 Bit operating systems Case Style: LM1639 Installation CD with Software included Product Overview Mini-Circuits is a general purpose USB controlled RF switch box containing four electro-mechanical SPDT, absorptive failsafe RF switches constructed in break-before-make configuration and powered by +24V DC with a switching time of 25 msec typical. The four switches can be set up as: four independent SPDT switches, two SP3T switches, one SP4T switch and a SPDT switch, a single SP5T switch, or other configurations (see page 6 for details). The RF switches can be operated in all these configurations remotely using the supplied GUI program, or programmed by the user using the included API DLL com object. The RF switches operate over a wide frequency band from DC to 18GHz, have low insertion loss (0.2 db typical) and high isolation (85dB typical) making the switch box perfectly suitable for a wide variety of RF applications. The is constructed in a plastic case (size of 4.26 X 6.08 X 2.25 ) with 12 SMA(F) connectors (IN,, J2 for each switch), a 2.1mm DC socket, and a USB type B port. The model is supplied along with a CD containing a graphical user interface program featuring an API DLL com object. Also included is a 2.7ft. USB cable, and a power adapter suitable for both US and EU power systems. Longer USB cables and SMA Male/ SMA Male coaxial semiflex cables for configuring the switch box are available as additional options. Key Features Feature Advantages USB HID (Human Interface Device) RF SPDT Electromechanical switch 24V DC Operating voltage Plug-and-Play (no need to install a driver for the device). Wideband (DC to 18GHz) with low insertion loss (0.2 db typ.), very high isolation (85dB typ.), and high power rating (10W cold switching) The requires 24V/900mA to power the RF switches, supplied from the included power adapter. 32/64 Bit operating systems Compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems using 32 and 64 bit architecture. Software CD, USB cable, and 24V DC Power adapter included A CD containing a programing manual for Linux and Windows operating systems (32 and 64 bit systems) and a Windows GUI program containing an API DLL com object is included with the. A 2.7ft. USB cable, and a power adapter suitable for both US and EU power systems are also included. Page 1 of 9
