PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Mini-Circuits’ RC-2MTS-50 comprises of two independently controlled, electro-mechanical transfer switches. Each switch

operates over a wide bandwidth, from DC to 50 GHz with high isolation (65 dB typical), low insertion loss (0.8 dB typical) and

high input power rating. The switches are of a fail-safe and break-before-make-configuration, with a minimum life time of 2

million switching cycles when used within the noted specifications.

The switch box is constructed in a compact, rugged metal case (5.5 x 6.0 x 2.75”) with all 2,4 mm connectors on the front panel.

The switches are controlled via USB or Ethernet, allowing control directly from a PC, or remotely over a network. Full software

support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for

Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems).

KEY FEATURES

Feature

Advantages

Two transfer switches

Transfer switches provide a simple DPDT switch application (2 input to 2 output switch matrix) and are a useful build-

ing block in much larger switch matrices

Fail-safe design

The switches revert to a known default state when the DC supply is removed, allowing their use in systems that must

continue to operate safely in the event of power failure

Break-before-make configuration

Prevents a momentary connection of the old and new signal paths, reducing the inconsistent transient effects that

could otherwise be observed during switching

USB & Ethernet control

USB HID and Ethernet (HTTP / Telnet) interfaces provide easy compatibility with a wide range of software setups and

programming environments

Full software support

User friendly Windows GUI (graphical user interface) allows manual control straight out of the box, while the com-

prehensive API (application programming interface) with examples and instructions allows easy automation in most

programming environments
