The SMX100 is a fully configurable RF switch system from Phillips. One or more card can be configured into a system to realize the number of channels and performance required. Regardless of the number of cards utilized, the system remains completely programmable through a single RS-232 two wire interface port.
Users can select from four switch types with different performance characteristics.
These switches can to be installed onto one or more SMX100 boards to create a complete solution of almost any configuration and magnitude. Different configurations can be achieved using external cables. Low insertion loss and high channel to channel isolation preserves signal integrity. Each time the SMX100 is powered up, all channels are configured to an open circuit state, regardless of their last programmed state. If any channel failure occurs this is detected immediately by diagnostic feedback circuitry and the user if notified immediately through the SFP, or as a response through the software driver.
