Specifications

The CY/16x8 is a two pole, bidirectional armature relay matrix that is used to switch
instrumentation level signals. It is a true non-blocking unit, and each input can
simultaneously be connected to one, many or all outputs. All CYTEC VXI Switch
Modules utilize both Message and Register based operation.
The CY/16x8 is built with 128 two pole Type A Armature
Relays and is designed to be used for switching instru-
mentation level signals. The relays are organized as six-
teen rows in the Y direction and eight columns in the X
direction. All switching paths are two wires with inte-
gral grounds located between all path pairs. Status
checking of any input reports all connected outputs, and
any number of relays can be energized at one time.
Power +5 Volts less than 1.2 Amp
+12 Volts 25 mA per energ. relay
Bandpass DC to 50 MHz (-3dB)
Insertion Loss less than 0.2dB at 10 MHz
Isolation/Crosstalk less than -50dB at 10 MHz
