What You Need
The MS-6101 controller offers an ideal switch setup
allowing anyone to build their own matrix solution by
plugging-in Dow-Key CAN bus controlled switches
onto the rear panel. The controller converts CAN
interface to either Ethernet or GPIB interface.

The 1RU controller is outfitted with 24 RJ11 ports on
the back to support 24 CAN bus switches and can be
expanded to support additional switches as needed
by adding patch panels.
One MS-6101 controller
Select any CAN bus controlled switches per Table 1.
Get RJ11-6 cable for each switch to plug-in to the controller
If more than 24 switches are need, add RJ11 patch panel board for
each additional 11 switches and use RJ11-4 cables. Also, check
with Dow-Key if secondary power supply is needed.
CAN bus switches, RJ11-X cables, RJ11 patch panel
(for expansion) and secondary power supply are
purchased separately.
Input power: The input AC power supply will down
convert and distribute DC voltage to all the switches
and sub-component (including the patch panel if
needed).

Application / What you Need
The MS-ENET and MS-GPIB kits are low budget solutions
for users who are comfortable to assemble components on
their own to build a RF switch solution.
Depending of the type of control, there are two kits available.
Either kit consists of an Ethernet/GPIB control board and
12x RJ11-6 cables (to be used with CAN bus switches),
where some assembly is required.
RF switches are not included and are purchased separately.
Refer to the MS-6101 Controller page for a list of available
Dow-Key CAN bus switches (Table 1).
MS-ENET: This kit allows the user to control switches
via Ethernet (TCP/IP with manual or DHCP IP address
assignment), RS-232, USB and HTTP (built-in website).
MS-GPIB: This kit offers the user GPIB (IEEE-488),
RS-232 and USB controls.
General
MS-Control kits are offered with Dow-Key SCPI commands that
gives the user the flexibility to control the switches either directly
via GPIB or TCP/IP protocols. These commands can also easily
be embedded into customer designed software programs as a
“string”.
Application:
Best used for ATE, test-bench and system integrated
applications.
What You Need:
1. Select either MS-ENET or MS-GPIB kit
2. Choose any CAN bus controlled switches per Table 1
3. Purchase additional RJ11-6 cable if 13 or more switches
are needed.
4. If more than 20 switches are required, purchase RJ11 patch
panel board along with RJ11-4 cables. The board support
11 additional switches and can be cascaded to support up
to 256 switches.

display for manual and local control, and remotely
it can be controlled via RS-232 with the options of
Ethernet or GPIB.
The system is best used for RF signal switching
among multiple devices. A suggested application is to
use it as an expansion port for network analyzers.
It is best used for RF testing where phase matched
paths are critical and easy access to connect/
disconnect I/O ports of the UUT is required from the
front.

RF Specifications
The 4701 Model is an unidirectional 50-ohm FanOut switch matrix configured with a maximum of
12 inputs and 12 outputs. The RF inputs are first
amplified with high linearity amplifiers (to compensate
for the insertion loss) and then divided using 4-way
and 3-way power dividers before being routed to
terminated SP12T coaxial switches with 2W/50-ohm
loads. Hence, the frequency band is limited to 1-18
GHz.

RF Specifications
The 4601 Model is an unidirectional 50-ohm Fan-Out
switch matrix configured with a maximum of 8 inputs
and 8 outputs. The RF inputs are first amplified
with high linearity amplifiers (to compensate for
the insertion loss) and then divided using 4-way
power dividers before being routed to SP8T coaxial
switches terminated to 2W/50-ohm loads. Hence,
the frequency band is limited to 1-18 GHz.

The crossbar segment routes any input signal to any
output port such that the path between the I/O ports
is unique at any given time. Whereas the fan-out
configuration re-routes outputs 15 &16 back to inputs
9-to-12 & 13-to-16 respectively to make two 1x4 fanout segments. See appendix C for more details.
This model is equipped with a MS Windows based

RF Characteristics (4x48 & 48x4)
The L-band non-blocking fan-out/fan-in solid state
switch model is a compact 4x48 and 48x4 switch
matrix solution integrated with a modular approach
using (7) sub-modules:
3x 16x4 Fan-in modules
(1U ea.)
1x Controller module
(3U)
3x 4x16 Fan-out modules
(1U ea.)
The system is fully controlled through the Controller
module, which is equipped with a MS Windows
based PC and two removable and replaceable power
supplies cartridges. Locally it can be controlled from
an LCD touch screen and remotely via Ethernet with
SNMP v1 protocol.
On the rear panel, the fan-in and the fan-out modules
are interconnected using RJ11 CAN bus connectors
to create a full 4x48 and 48x4 matrix. (The 8x2 switch
resides inside the control module)

MP-Series RF Data
DC-18 GHZ TERMINATED SWITCHES WITH SMA-TYPE CONNECTORS
The Tables are to guide on how to determine the enclosure height for the MS-Series.
Depending on switch type, number of input & output ports and connector type, the number of switches that can
be mounted on the rear panel or inside an enclosure varies.
