The SMX-7121 is a PXIe microwave switch module with one 26.5 GHz SPDT switch. The SPDT microwave switch is “pluggable” from the front within a 1-slot relay carrier allowing for easy configuration and maintenance. The carrier can also functions as a relay driver for controlling external microwave relays that exceed available space in the PXIe mainframe. Each carrier allows for 6 control lines compatible with 24V logic.
The SMX-7121 can be mixed and matched with other SMX or EX1200 modules to configure high-density switching solutions. Competitively priced, the SMX-7121 series can reduce the cost of microwave switching by at least 20% from existing solutions and satisfy lower frequency cellular switching market needs.
