Customer Comments:

“Although purchased products will be installed overseas within two months, I'm sure we will not have any problems.”

The MRM 1000 is a broadband RF matrix switch and switching subsystem that allows any of 4 to 128 inputs** carrying broadband (20-1000 MHz) RF signals to be routed to any of 4 to 128 outputs. The system utilizes patented stack-and-tier technology which offers ultra-reliable, high-performance, in a compact, modular design. This greatly reduces the size and complexity of the system while greatly enhancing the system's reliability by eliminating the need for patch panels and repetitive mechanical connections. 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 rear panel design facilitates structured cable routing, thereby eliminating confusing tangles and bundles of cables.

Note: Also operates between 5-20 MHz, but with reduced performance levels for noise figure and gain.
** Systems with more than 16 inputs or with 16 or fewer outputs can be supplied, but with slightly different specs.

Features & Benefits

  • Operating frequency range for Broadband (20-1000 MHz)
  • Quintech's patented Stack and Tier technology takes up less rack space.
  • MRM broadband RF matrix switches greatly enhance 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.
  • MRM broadband RF matrix switches allow for switching of alternate sources to comply with immediate changes in routing requirements.
  • Solid-state switching elements provide seamless (nanoseconds) switching speeds.
  • MRM broadband RF matrix switches maximize the 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.
  • MRM broadband RF matrix switches offer standard power redundancy and high isolation for optimum system reliability.
  • Easy access front panel keypad and LCD display provide convenient cross point identification.
