RF Matrix Switch : MRF Series 

      

Quintech's MRF Series programmable, non-blocking, full fan-out (splitting) RF matrix switch solutions are configured to route any of 2, 4, 8 or 12 inputs carrying RF signals to any number of 2 or 4 outputs. These switches offer compact, ultra-reliable, high performance realizations of radio frequency (RF) switching technology very cost effective. This advanced realization greatly reduces the size, complexity and cost of large broadband RF routing systems, while enhancing their performance and reliability through a drastic reduction in the number of switching modules, component count, connectors and interconnection cables. Systems are DC-blocking.

 

Features & Benefits

• Operating Frequency ranges from Broadband Cable (5-1000 MHz), IF (5-200 MHz) and Satellite (950-2150 MHz).

• Controllable locally via front panel keypad or remotely via computer (serial or TCP/IP, 10 base-T) and compatible with most monitoring and control systems.

• An RF matrix switch maximizes the use of existing equipment with automated switching and scheduling; no need for dedicated equipment.

• Easy access front panel keypad and LCD Display provide convenient cross point identification.

• Lithium battery maintains cross point configuration in the event of an interruption in power.
