High Power DC-12GHz Multi - Throw Switch

The CS-18 Switch is a broadband multi-position coaxial switch designed to switch RF
signals from one input port to any one of 3 through 6 output ports. It is readily adapted to any
50 Ohms transmission line system. The standard actuator gives individual solenoid control of
each position and when de-energized, all positions are open. Standard actuator voltage is 28
VDC. The primary advantage of this switch over the min-
iature versions shown on previous pages is the higher
power handling capability.
