CHING SYSTEMS

CYTEC's CXM Series Microwave Switching Systems are computer controlled units that are

designed to switch 50 ohm coaxial microwave signals. These are passive, bidirectional

devices. Two basic configurations are available: Nx1 Multiplexers and NxM nonblocking

(but not full fanout) Matrices. Bandpass depends on switching topology, but DC to 40 GHz is

possible. Control options include RS232, IEEE488, Ethernet LAN and USB. Manual Control

is also available.

The CXM units are all 19" rack mounting chassis and

are available either as Mainframes or Expansion Chas-

sis. Standard units provide from 16 to 256 individual

switch points. The basic unit holds the required power

supplies, a Control Module, Switch Modules and an op-

tional Manual Control.

Custom configurations are available on request. As an ex-

ample, switch modules from other product lines can be com-

bined in one chassis to furnish a single test stand for multiple

signal types. In addition, other microwave devices such as

Couplers, Splitters, Attenuators and Amplifiers can be

combined to provide a complete Microwave test system.

CXM/16 & CXM/32 CHASSISCXM/16 & CXM/32 CHASSIS

CXM/16 & CXM/32 CHASSIS

These chassis furnish 16 and 32 individual switch points with

discrete front panel LEDs displaying switch status.

CXM/64 and CXM/128 CHASSISCXM/64 and CXM/128 CHASSIS

CXM/64 and CXM/128 CHASSIS

These chassis provide 64 and 128 switch points. The units

require a CL8-VHP Display Module for every eight switch

points. The CL8-VHP Module controls the Microwave Switch

Modules and has LEDs which show switch point status

through the front panel.

IF-6 LAN INTERFACE

This module furnishes control from a Local Area Network via

TCP/IP protocols as described in Applications Bulletin AP-5.

IF-7 RS232/UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS INTERFACE

This module has full functionality with both Serial Protocols.

USB will probably replace RS232 on future computers.

CYTEC Corp. warrants that all products are free from defects in

Material or Workmanship for a period of 5 years, with the ex-

ception of the Microwave relays, which are warrantied for only

one year.

AL CONTROL

This has a Keypad and LCD Display on the front panel so that

the operator can select any relay and verify that the relay has

been selected. This option is available on the CXM/64, CXM/

128 and CXM/256 Chassis.

VMCS

This Virtual Manual Control Software enables a remote opera-

tor to view the Status of the Matrix and to Control Switch Selec-

tion using a full Graphical User Interface.
