PXI/PXIe RF Multiplexer, Single 4-Channel, 3GHz, 75Ω, MCX
42-832A-101
The 40-832A-101 (PXI) and 42-832A-101 are 75 Ohm 4 to 1 RF multiplexers with 1 bank in a single slot. They have been designed to exhibit low insertion loss and VSWR through the use of modern RF relay technology at an affordable cost. Each MUX has been carefully designed to ensure excellent and repeatable RF characteristics to frequencies of 3GHz with each path having a nominally equal insertion loss. The design of the 40/42-832A minimizes the injection of noise and unwanted signals into the signal path by careful attention to the mechanical and electrical design.

Switching System Test Tools
eBIRST
The eBIRST toolset consists of three different tools that support 200-pin LFH, 78-pin and 50-pin connectors and a set of adaptors that allow connection to other connector types. A supplied application program controls the eBIRST tools via a USB2 port that also provides the tool power and controls the switching system using a Test Definition File to define the test sequence. These tools work by measuring the path resistance at the switching system external connectors using four-wire measurements, quickly establishing whether the path is good, has increased resistance or has failed. Below are links to various eBIRST tool information:
