Customer Comments:

"Frank Elling and Tim Buck did an excellent job of translating our requirements into a delivered product."

The SFM 0140 is a full fan-in matrix switch and switching subsystem that allows multiple inputs carrying 140 MHz IF signals to be routed and combined to a single output. These matrices utilize 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.

Features & Benefits

  • Operating frequency for Intermediate Frequency (140 MHz).
  • Modular design allows for easy system installations and expansions.
  • Quintech's patented Stack and Tier technology takes up less rack space.
  • SFM Fan-in IF 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.
  • SFM Fan-in IF 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.
  • SFM Fan-in IF 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.
  • SFM Fan-in IF 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.
