ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-108A 1+1 DC–40 GHz RF Redundancy Switch Module

ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-108A 1+1 DC–40 GHz RF Redundancy Switch Module

The ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-108A provides 1+1 redundancy switching for Falcon frequency converters in a compatible 1U GENUS chassis, with a DC–40 GHz path and a DC–6 GHz path. Supporting one active converter and one standby converter, this hot-swappable module offers low insertion loss, 55 dB minimum path isolation and local or remote control through the parent chassis.

Operating Temperature: 0°C to +45°C
Installation: Indoor use within a compatible 1U GENUS chassis
Application: Falcon frequency converter redundancy

Key Features

• 1+1 redundancy for active and standby frequency converters

• DC–40 GHz and DC–6 GHz signal paths

• 55 dB minimum path isolation

• Tight gain flatness across specified L-, Ku- and Ka-band ranges

• Hot-swappable, field-replaceable switch module

• Local touchscreen and remote Ethernet control through the parent chassis

Requires a compatible 1U GENUS chassis and Falcon converter configuration. Insertion-loss specifications exclude external linking cables. Specifications apply to the standalone module; performance may vary in an integrated converter redundancy system.
