CXM CHASSIS
The CXM Series are 19" rack mounting chassis with built in power supplies and are designed to
hold the CXM Microwave Switches selected by the user. The switches are typically mounted so
that their RF connectors protrude through the rear panel. The front panels have discrete LEDs
showing the status of all switch points. The front panels also hold the optional manual controls.

Fig. 1 4x4 Matrix Using Eight CXM/4x1 Switches
Bidirectional NxM Matrices are assembled by interconnecting the
required number of individual microwave switches as shown in
Fig. 1. The matrix is nonblocking, but not full fan-out. Nonblock-
ing means that any input can be connected to any output without
interrupting a previously set path. When a matrix is not full fan-
out, an input may be switched to only one output. Matrix con-
gurations from 2x2 to 8x8 or larger are possible. The switches
and interconnects are assembled inside the chassis. The input
and output connectors (typically SMAs) are mounted on the rear
panel. Unidirectional full fan-out systems and bidirectional full
fan-out systems are also available. Just call and ask.

CXM/64 MAINFRAME OR -E EXPANSION CHASSIS
These Chassis control up to 64 switch points as dened by the user.
Front panel LEDs indicate both switch point and power status. Add
controls, the required CXM switches and one CL8-VHP Display
module for every eight switch points to complete the system.
