Caution CENTER CONDUCTOR MAY SHORT TO SHIELD. Each channel’s center conductor may momentarily short to the shield when the channel is opened or closed. Use only resistive (50Ω or 75Ω) or current-limited (<1 A) inputs with less than 0.1 μF total capacitance.

Caution STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICE. Use anti-static procedures when removing, configuring, and installing a module. The multiplexer modules are susceptible to static discharges. Do not install a multiplexer without its metal shield attached.

Connecting User Inputs

User inputs to the RF multiplexers are made through user-supplied male BNC connectors to the female BNC connectors on the modules. Figure 2-1 shows the multiplexer female BNC connectors and associated channel numbers.
