Description
The 778572-41 is a model PXI-2541, belonging to the category of PXI Switches. It is specifically designed as an RF Signal Switching Matrix, ideal for applications requiring high channel density. This device supports column expansion for larger matrices, including configurations such as 8×24, 8×36, and more, making it highly versatile for various testing scenarios.
One of the standout features of the PXI-2541 is its Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), which is less than 1.8 past 300 MHz. This ensures minimal signal reflection and maximizes signal integrity. The device utilizes reed relays for reliable, long-lasting performance. At 300 MHz, the maximum insertion loss is below 2.1 dB, and it provides exceptional isolation, typically greater than 75 dB, ensuring minimal crosstalk between channels.
For applications dealing with signals up to 60 V or 0.5 A, the PXI-2541 can safely manage without compromising performance. Triggering is efficiently handled via the PXI backplane, providing seamless integration and control within PXI systems. Additionally, it entered its maintenance phase on June 30, 2022, indicating continued support and availability of parts for existing users.
