S16 Flexible RF Switch

Kronback Tracers S16 is a compact, flexible RF switch for switching up to sixteen inputs over to one output in the 4-1220 MHz range.

Wide range of use

The S16 is useful as input expansion for existing measurement systems, including the Kronback Tracers X16. The S16 is also an excellent choice for n+1 headend redun­dancy handling, RF laboratory usage, time-shifting RF channels and emergency switching.

Web-based user interface

The S16 is equipped with a web-based user interface, allowing users to name each input individually. The switch and its location can also be named. National characters are allowed in all text fields.

Master-slave control

The master-slave function allows multiple S16 units to be connected. This allows configurations up to 256x1. The web interface of the S16 master unit ensures that the multiple S16 forms one virtual switch.

Remote control

The IP stack of the S16 provides excellent features for remote-control­ling the unit for access to third-party control software.
