Coax Switch Enters Broadcast And Cable TV Marts

Designed to switch signals from a common input to either of two outputs operating from DC to 3 GHz with characteristic impedance of 75?, Series CCR-33M single-pole, double-throw coaxial switch is said to offer optimum performance in broadcast and cable TV systems, modem networks, and other 75? applications. The switch is available with either a fail-safe or latching actuator at voltages of 12, 15, or 28 Vdc and has a 20-ms switching time. It also features indicator circuits, TTL and self-cutoff options. Weighing just 1.65 oz., the CCR-33M comes housed in either a standard SPDT RF switch package or, optionally, in a narrow-body configuration and features female mini-SMB connectors. The coax switch meets MIL-STD-202 requirements for shock and vibration, has a MTBF of 7.3 million hr., and is priced at $88 to $273 each/250.
