Keysight U1816F USB Coaxial Switch

Overview

The Keysight U1816F is a DC to 67 GHz USB-driven switch matrix consisting of two single-pole-six-throw (SP6T) switches. Its extended frequency range supports advanced RF and microwave applications. The matrix enables switching of multiple signal paths without physically changing connections, allowing multiple tests with the same setup and eliminating frequent manual reconnections. Excellent isolation and low VSWR ensure signal integrity across the full frequency range.
