Description
The product with the part number 778572-41 is designated as the model PXI-2541, which is a type of RF Matrix Switch Module. This particular model boasts a versatile switch configuration, initially set at 8×12 but expandable to 8×24, 8×36, and even larger configurations to cater to various user needs.
It operates efficiently up to a maximum frequency of 300 MHz, ensuring a low insertion loss of <2.1 dB at 300 MHz. In terms of performance metrics, it offers excellent isolation, typically greater than 75 dB, which is essential for reducing interference between channels and maintaining signal integrity.
The module can handle a maximum voltage of 60 V and a maximum current of 0.5 A, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Triggering is conveniently managed via the PXI backplane, providing seamless integration into existing systems.
Equipped with reed relays, the PXI-2541 ensures reliable operation with a contact resistance of <3.1 Ω at the end of its life cycle. Furthermore, it supports column expansion, allowing users to easily expand their matrix configurations as their testing requirements grow.
This module entered its maintenance phase on June 30, 2022, and it remains available with Apex Waves, ensuring users have access to this versatile and reliable RF matrix switch module for their testing and measurement needs.
