ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-106 2+1 DC–40 GHz RF Redundancy Switch Module

ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-106 2+1 DC–40 GHz RF Redundancy Switch Module

The ETL Systems Swift SWF-G1S-QX-106 provides 2+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 two active converters with one shared standby converter, this hot-swappable module occupies six chassis slots and offers 55 dB minimum path isolation, with local and remote control through the parent chassis.
