4600 SERIES
VERY HIGH DENSITY SWITCHING MATRICES
CYTEC's new 4600 Series are economical, high density, passive, bidirectional switch matri-
ces. Each chassis holds up to 2048 two pole Type A relays, and a modular design allows
great flexibility in creating different switching topologies. For example, the following single
chassis configurations are all possible: 64x32 two pole matrix, 32x32 four pole matrix, 32x8
eight pole matrix or 32x8 sixteen pole matrix. Several independent matrices, such as a four
separate 32x16 two pole matrices, can be provided in one chassis as well. Please contact
CYTEC directly to discuss configuration options. Computerized control is via combined
RS232/IEEE488, with 10BaseT Ethernet and Manual Controls optionally available.
The 4600 chassis are standard 19" rack mounting
units and are built as either Mainframe or Expan-
sion Chassis. From 128 to 2048 individual switch
points are furnished. Input and output signal con-
nectors are standard IDC Headers and are ac-
cessed from the chassis rear.
4600 CHASSIS
4600 MAINFRAME
The standard mainframe is built with power supplies, a Con-
trol Module and, optionally, a Manual Control. The system
is completed by adding as required from one to sixteen of the
4600/8(2x8) Switch Modules shown on this bulletin's second
page.

CUSTOM CHASSIS
Custom configurations are available upon request. Most cus-
tom systems wire out the rear panel Input/Output connec-
tions to a required connector type that is different from the
standard headers. This wiring is priced on the basis of labor
and materials.
CONTROL MODULES
IF-5 IEEE488/RS232 CONTROL MODULE
The expansion chassis is identical to the mainframe in size
and function. The expansion chassis, however, is built with-
out a dedicated control module, manual control or power sup-
plies. Instead, it is designed to be both powered and con-
trolled by one of CYTEC's MESA Control Chassis detailed in
the MESA Bulletin. Ribbon Expansion Cables connect the
expansion chassis to the MESA.
This module provides remote control via both RS232 Serial
and IEEE488 Talk/Listen interfaces as detailed in Applica-
tions Bulletin AP-5.
This optional module allows control over a 10BaseT Ethernet
Local Area Network via TCP/IP protocols as described in Ap-
plications Bulletin AP-5.
WARRANTY
CYTEC Corp. warrants that all products are free from defects
in Material or Workmanship for a period of 5 years and that all
switches are guaranteed for their rated operations as shown
on the second page.
MANUAL CONTROL
This local control supplies a front panel Keypad and LCD Dis-
play that lets the operator control any switch and verify switch
status.
VMCS
This Virtual Manual Control Software allows a remote operator
using a PC to view matrix Status and control switches using a
full Graphical User Interface.
