Solid State Switch DP8T

DP8T (Dual Pole, 8 Throws), terminated, 0.1-6 GHz, high isolation between ports

Initially designed for med-tech purpose, this solid state switch offers high isolation between ports.

The Ranatec DP8T Solid State Switch is a dual-pole, eight-throw (DP8T) module for RF applications requiring multiple signal paths. Operating from 0.1 to 4.8 GHz, it offers insertion loss under 4.8 dB up to 3 GHz and isolation above 70 dB. With USB and I2C control and a voltage range of 4.7 to 15 VDC, it is ideal for complex RF testing like MIMO and BITE.
