The LXB Series units are two pole switch matrices and are available as either Mainframes or Expansion
Chassis. They are well suited for use in two wire data communications applications, including T1 and
ISDN, where wiring is minimized and performance is optimized. The following matrix configurations are
available: Two separate 16x4's in one chassis, one 16x8, one 32x4 or one 64x2. Signals connectors
include BNCs, Screw Terminals or Three Pin Headers. Twin BNCs are available at extra cost.

There are two basic Mainframes: The LXB/2(16x4) and the LXB/64x2. Both are 19" rack mounting chas-
sis, 3.5" high and 15.6" deep. Each mainframe is built with power supplies and motherboards that hold
up to 16 Switch Modules, 16 Latching/Display Modules and a Control Module. Manual Controls are
optional.
This mainframe accepts up to16 LXB/2(1x4) Switch Modules
to form two separate 16x4 Matrices as shown in Fig. 3.
Jumpering Inputs A & B on the Switch Modules forms a 16x8
Matrix. Motherboard jumpers can also be added to bus Out-
puts 1 & 5, 2 & 6, 3 & 7 and 4 & 8 to connect the two 16x4
Matrices to create a single 32x4 Matrix.
Bandpass is 40 MHz at -3dB and Crosstalk is less than -60dB
at 10 MHz.

This mainframe accepts up to 16 LXB/4(1x2) Switch Modules
and one Signal I/O Module. The Signal I/O Module intercon-
nects the Signal Motherboard bus traces to form a 64x2 Matrix
as shown in Fig. 4.
Bandpass is 15 MHz and Crosstalk is less than -60dB at 10

This module has 8, single or double pole relays arranged as
two separate 1x4 matrices as shown on Fig. 3. It plugs into
the LXB Signal Motherboard. The two matrices, A & B, can
be jumpered on the module to create one 1x8 matrix.
This module is available with Type S Standard, Type M Mer-
cury, Type LT Low Thermal and Type HV High Voltage relays.
The following connectors are available: Type E- 20 pin card
edge, Type N - BNC receptacles, Type H - Three Pin Headers
or Type ST - Screw Terminals. Twin BNCs are available at
extra cost.
This module has 8, single or double pole relays arranged as

This module is similar to the above, except it is built with 8,
two pole Type P Power Relays and Screw Terminal connec-
tors. It is used for higher power or current applications where
a matrix configuration is required. Mating connectors are in-
cluded in the price of the module.
