Series 8000 signal routing solutions are designed and built to customer specifications to match specific requirements for DC, RF/microwave, and optical applications and can be controlled via GPIB (IEEE-488) or LAN. Giga-tronics' custom design capabilities allow system specifiers to define the key design parameters within their applications.

To build Giga-tronics' signal routing solutions we combine proven Giga-tronics' switch expertise with a wide array of relays and other components sourced from the industry's leading suppliers. This flexibility to choose the best RF/Microwave and optical components for the application, regardless of the supplier, means there's no compromise on system performance.

Configuration Example

The Series 8000 switch assemblies are supplied in standard light-weight enclosures and typically integrated into half rack or full rack from 2U to 7U height. Switches can often be removed from the front of the unit which allows reduced mean time to repair. Click here for Configuration Example
