The Ametek VTI Instruments SMP6101 is a 10 (1×4) coaxial tree module engineered for high-fidelity RF signal routing within VXIbus systems. This SMIP II family member delivers excellent crosstalk and isolation through RF relays and optimized coaxial paths, enabling flexible switching configurations when mixed with compatible modules. The design eliminates unterminated stub effects to preserve signal integrity across high-frequency applications.
