Matrix switching systems

• N inputs x N outputs
• DC – 18GHz
• Blocking / non-blocking
• Full fan-out / full fan In
• Local or remote control

Routing (selector) switching systems

• One input to N outputs
• N inputs to one output
• N=2 through 128
• DC – 18GHz
• Local or remote control

Redundancy switching systems:

• One for one up to one for eight
• DC – 18GHz
• Automatic switch – over failure
• Priority channel override
• Local or remote control
