New 8-Switch Matrix delivers Even More Efficiency for RF & Microwave Test Setups!

August 15, 2012 — Test multiple parameters or multiple DUTs in a single pass, without constantly stopping to connect/disconnect cables! It sounds simple, but customers will soon appreciate all the built-in “smarts” of Mini-Circuits new USB-8SPDT-A18 Switch Matrix.

Like the rest of our Smart Switch Matrix lineup, the rugged aluminum case houses our patented low-loss, high-isolation mechanical switches—the only ones available anywhere, at any price, that offer up to 10 years and 100 million cycles of guaranteed performance!

The user-friendly GUI helps customers get up and running in minutes right out of the box, for step-by-step control, full automation, or remote operation via the internet. It’s fully compatible with almost any PC and most third-party test software, adding capabilities to existing systems with ease!

And 8 absorptive switches make for a long list of possibilities: dual transfer switches, 2 in/8 out, an SP9T, or 2 in/6 out plus an SP3T are just a few of the many presets. Customers can even save any configuration of their own design, with all jumpers and switch states clearly indicated for quick recall and setup, or as a handy reference when working on future projects!
