Coax Switches
CXAR Series - Cytec Corp.
CXAR products are 50 or 75 ohm coax switch modules with mechanical or solid state switches. They can be configured to drive from 16 to 256 switch points and are intended to be used for signal from DC to 2.5 GHz depending on the configuration. Most of the modules used in these systems are 1xN multiplexers that can be combined to form larger multiplexers or matrices. Control options include 10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN, RS232, GPIB or optional manual control. There are four different types of switch modules available:
-

Switch Modules
CXS 75 ohm CATV
-
These switch modules use high reliability solid state switches for 75 ohm applications between 1 and 1000 MHz ( typical cable TV). Fast, inexpensive solid state relays are perfect for coaxial switching at CATV frequencies. Switch times of 1 ms and life expectancy of 100 billion operations. Terminated to 75 ohms in both directions for use with splitters in either direction.

CXR Low Leakage Modules for Measuring High Resistance or Low Currents
-
These switch modules use ultra high isolation reed relays. They allow measurements of resistances as high as 500 Teraohms or current readings as low as 50 femto amps. Withstand voltage rating of 1500 Vdc and options for Triax connectors for faster driven guard measurements. Not intended for frquencies above 50 MHz or switched currents over 0.5 amps. BNC, Triax or Shrouded Banana Jack connector options. Need help with this kind of difficult measurement? Call or e-mail and we can help.

CXAR Custom Chassis
Chassis
Cytec has a complete metal fabrication shop and a laser etching machine so we can build custom systems with very low NRE. Module arrangement, custom labeling, custom configurations are done fairly easily and nearly 50% of the systems we build are not shown in our standard product line. Don't see what you need? Just ask!

CATV Solid State Switch Modules
CXS 50 Ohm RF Or 75 Ohm
-
These switch modules use high reliability solid state switches for 50 or 75 ohm applications between 10 KHz and 2.75 GHz. Fast, inexpensive solid state relays are perfect for coaxial switching at low power RF and CATV frequencies. Switch times as fast as 25 us and life expectancy of 100 billion operations. Terminated to 50 or 75 ohms in both directions for use with splitters in either direction.

CXR Balanced Line 2 Pole Modules
-
These switch modules use 100 ohm differential pair impedance two pole relays and strip lines for switching of balanced lines and differential digital or analog signals. BNC connectors switching center conductor and outer concentric or Twin-ax / Twin BNC connectors switching inner conductors with outer concentric used as a grounded shield. Cerw terminal connectors are also available for ease of wiring twisted pairs. Bi-directional mechanical armature relays with very good Low Thermal qualities make this module useful for gauge measurements or very low voltage measurements down to 5 uV.
