NI PXI-2593

500 MHz Multiplexer/Matrix

  • 16x1 multiplexer
  • Fully software configurable
  • 150 V CAT I switching
  • 500 MHz bandwidth
  • MCX direct connectivity
  • 50 Ω characteristic impedance

The National Instruments PXI-2593 is a high-density 50 Ω RF relay module. It can be programmatically configured as unterminated multiplexers, externally terminated multiplexers, or dimensionally flexible sparse matrices. Each configuration handles signal frequencies from DC to beyond 500 MHz. This 1-slot switch module uses high-density push-on MCX connectors for discrete yet manageable cabling. The NI PXI-2593 is designed to integrate with high-frequency instruments such as the NI PXI-5404 frequency generator and the NI PXI-5112 high-speed digitizer.
