Description
The product with the Part Number 196218K-01L, which can also be identified by its Alternate Part Number 778572-57, falls under the Category of PXI Switches. Specifically, it is the Model PXI-2557, a type of PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module.
This module is designed for the Application of switching a large number of video RF signals. It is essential in scenarios where multiple video signals need to be routed or switched between various sources and destinations without compromising signal quality.
One of the critical specifications of this module is its Insertion Loss, which measures the attenuation and power loss experienced as the signal passes through the switch. This parameter is crucial for understanding how much signal strength is lost during the switching process.
Another important specification is the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), which is the ratio of reflected to transmitted waves. It indicates the match quality between the switch and the connected devices. A lower VSWR means less energy is reflected and more is transmitted, indicating a better quality of connection and less signal loss.
