Product Overview

Mini-Circuits’ ZT-16X48B is a high performance, 16 by 48 blocking switch matrix, covering the key worldwide telecoms bands from 600 MHz to 6GHz. The system has been developed in a modular format for ease of deployment and expandability, and can be quickly installed on site by Mini-Circuits’ expert engineers in the supplied 14U rack cabinet.

This bi-directional switch matrix can be programmed to connect any of the 16 “A” ports to any combination of the 48 “B” ports, in a blocking configuration. The matrix is ideally suited to a wide range of multi-user and multi-device test systems, particularly in the cellular base-station test market where multiple base-stations, access points and user equipment can be routed and re-routed between each other.

The complete system is controlled via a single USB or Ethernet (supporting both HTTP and Telnet network protocols). Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments.
