What is an Electromechanical Switch?
Electromechanical switches: Used in switch matrix systems for testing telecommunication devices when low insertion loss is critical and power-handling requirements are higher. Electromechanical switches are widely used in both basic signal routing and application-specific switch matrices, such as tree or full-access matrices.
| Key Product Differentiator: Excellent insertion loss repeatability of 0.03 dB for repeatable measurement results. |
