The Keysight U7106N is a single-pole-six-throw (SP6T) electromechanical switch module engineered for high-frequency RF and microwave signal routing in automated test systems. Operating from DC to 54 GHz, it enables multi-port expansion of test configurations, allowing simultaneous switching between six output paths with magnetic latching control and opto-electronic indication.
