National Instruments 778572-96 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module.

The part number 778572-96 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PXI-2596 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module. This module has been built with configurable methods that enables the module to connect and switch signals, such as the Dual 6 × 1 multiplexer. It offers a maximum switching voltage of 90 Vrms, CAT I and a maximum carry current of 1.73 Arms per channel, and can carry a maximum RF power of 150 W.

This PXI RF module is designed to have insertion loss of less than 0.6 dB up to 26.5 GHz and 0.2 dB up to 3 GHz. The VSWR is maintained below 1.6 up to 26.5 GHz and below 1.2 up to 3 GHz, reducing signal interruptions and helps in impedance matching.  This RF module also supports input trigger from PXI trigger lines through 0 to 7 with a minimum pulse width of 150 ns and output trigger from PXI trigger lines through 0 to 7 with a pulse width of 1 µs to 62 µs.
  
This 778572-96 PXI RF module is enclosed in a 3U, two slot, PXI/cPCI module form factor. The module physical dimensions are 21.6 cm by 4.1 cm by 13.0 cm (8.5 by 1.6 by 5.1 in.), and it weighs 391 g (13.8 oz). This module is made to function at operable power of 2.5 W at 3.3 V, 1.0 W at 5 V and 6 W at 12 V.

It operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius (Tested in accordance with IEC 60068-2-1 and IEC 60068-2-2) with operating relative humidity of 10% to 90%, noncondensing and the module can withstand storage temperatures from -40 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius with relative storage humidity levels from 5% to 95%, non-condensing. This module is designed to be mounted at a maximum altitude of 2,000 meters and meets Pollution Degree 2 standards. It is designed for indoor use only and with compliance of many certifications, this equipment is a best choice for measurement, control and laboratory use.
