Coaxial Switches
Our Coaxial Switches support maximum VSWR ranging from 1.1 to 1.95 with minimum isolation ranges from 55 dB to 85 dB and a max insertion loss from .1 dB to .8 dB, depending on configuration.
Overview
Founded in 1945, MPG's flagship switch brand Dow-Key remains the world’s largest manufacturer of electromechanical RF Switches, including our durable and reliable line of Coax Switches (Coaxial Switches). Designed to reliably route microwave signals or RF energy from point to point within a transmission line, Dow-Key Microwave’s Coax Switches are equally at home in an industrial environment, such as large RF communication systems and networks, or within the lab supporting RF testing equipment.
Our technical team and experienced engineers will help you determine the optimal Coaxial Switch or Coax Relay solution for your needs from our extended line of off-the-shelf and custom-designed products.
