The VXI Technology 6001/SMP6001 is a high-density 1×4 coaxial tree module engineered for general-purpose RF switching in VXIbus systems. This SMIP II family member delivers switching capability across frequencies exceeding 900 MHz while maintaining excellent crosstalk and isolation through RF relays, short low-loss coaxial runs, and elimination of unterminated stub effects. The modular architecture supports flexible system configuration by mixing and matching complementary switch modules to achieve application-specific, high-density switching solutions.
