SP6T Coaxial Switch DC-18 GHz for Broadband RF Signal Routing
The SP6T coaxial switch designed for DC-18 GHz applications offers flexible signal routing capabilities across a wide frequency spectrum. This single-pole, six-throw configuration enables selection among six output paths from a common input, making it suitable for multi-channel RF systems requiring dynamic signal distribution. The device operates with 12VDC positive control voltage and features solder-pin terminals paired with SMA-female connectors, ensuring straightforward integration into existing RF assemblies and test setups.
