IF Switch Matrix : MRF 200

      

The MRF 200 is a programmable, full fan-out IF switch matrix that can be configured to route any of 2, 4, 8, or 12 inputs to any number of 2 or 4 outputs. The system utilizes patented stack-and-tier technology to offer compact, ultra-reliable and cost effective realizations of radio frequency (RF) switching technology. This greatly reduces the size, complexity and cost of large broadband RF routing systems, while greatly enhancing the performance and reliability of the system, by drastically reducing the number of switching modules, connectors, and cables. The system is controllable either locally via the front panel keypad or remotely via computer and is compatible with most monitoring and control systems. The easy access front panel keypad and LCD display provide convenient crosspoint identification.

Features & Benefits

• Operating frequency range for Intermediate Frequency (5-200 MHz IF).

• MRF IF switch matrix greatly enhances system reliability by eliminating patch panels.

• Controllable locally via front panel keypad or remotely via computer and are compatible with most monitoring and control systems, freeing up staff to attend to more critical tasks.

• MRF IF switch matrix allows for switching of alternate sources to comply with immediate changes in routing requirements.

• Solid-state Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) switching elements provide seamless (nanoseconds) switching speeds.

• MRFIF switch matrix maximizes use of existing equipment; with automated switching and scheduling, you can get the most out of your expensive network components, and -- no need for dedicated equipment.

• Up to 10 additional remote controllers can be daisy-chained to the master.

• The rear panel design facilitates structured cable routing, eliminating confusing tangles of cable.

• MRFIF switch matrix offers standard high isolation for optimum system reliability.

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