SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The EX7000 series of modular microwave switch assemblies consist of standard products as well
as custom factory configured enclosures. All are rack mountable and range in size from 1U to 4U.
The standard products include the EX71HD, a 1U high-density, 26 GHz non-latching microwave
switch mainframe; the EX72SF, a 2U high-density, 26 GHz latching microwave switch
mainframe; the EX72CC, a 2U high-density switch mainframe optimized for 12V non-latching
relays such as the Teledyne CR/CT series; and the EX7400, a 4U switching platform that is
custom built per customer specifications, but contains the same LAN interface, relay driver
boards, and power supply (unless otherwise required or specified) as the EX71HD and EX72SF.
The EX7400 can contain an assortment of electromechanical relays, plus any additional active or
passive components that may be required. Every member of the EX7000 series comes with an LXI
compliant LAN interface.
