FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Radiall launches new line of Low PIM coaxial switches

February 2014 - Radiall, a global leader in design, development and manufacturing of innovative interconnect solutions, proudly launches a new line of Low PIM (Passive Intermodulation) coaxial switches. The rapid growth of 4G/LTE networks has led to the need for better performing Low PIM devices.  As a result, Radiall developed a broad series of switches including the following configurations:  SPDT, DPDT, SP4T, and SP6T.  These configurations are available with either SMA (up to 18 GHz) or N (up to 12.4 GHz) type connectors. 

With over 500 part number configurations available for purchase, these switches offer longer life cycles with 2 million actuations guaranteed, versus the industry average of 1 million cycles.  The combination of part number configurations, long life cycle guarantee, and Low PIM performance make these devices a perfect solution for RF test systems and test benches demanding excellent passive intermodulation performance.

- Based on Radiall's proven RAMSES modular concept

- 3rd order intermodulation characteristics of -160 dBc @ +43 dBm (20 watts)
