Product details
The Quintech RFM is a lossless RF routing switch that connects any of 16 inputs to one output in a 1RU chassis, and cascades to 256x1 as you add modules. It is built for centralized test and measurement: one spectrum analyzer or receiver can monitor many signals. Versions cover 5–1800 MHz (DOCSIS 3.1), 950–2500 MHz (L-band) and 5–2500 MHz.
Key features
- 16x1 in 1RU, expandable in the field to 256x1
- Unity-gain switching with low noise figure
- 5–1800 MHz, 950–2500 MHz and 5–2500 MHz versions
- Remote control over TCP/IP via open API, plus web browser and SNMP
