Agilent's U1810B coaxial USB switch will support standard plug-and-play functionality for traditional USB devices, eliminating the need for additional power adapters or drivers and simplifying setup. A button on the switch will allow users to change the signal path between two output ports without using the software interface. These new capabilities will help engineers design switching arrays for telecommunications, electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing applications.
Like other Agilent microwave switches, the U1810B offers outstanding performance: a guaranteed lifespan of 5 million cycles (though 10 million cycles are typical) and a guaranteed insertion loss repeatability of 0.03 dB. Its long lifespan will help reduce testing costs and ensure the reliability of the test system throughout its lifetime. The switch's exceptional insertion loss repeatability will minimize uncertainty in system measurements while maximizing test productivity.
The U1810B's front panel incorporates an alternative software control interface. Users can also control the switch using various software platforms, such as C, LabVIEW, or VEE.
