of any facility.

power supply. An optional redundant power supply is
available. High quality front panel push buttons are
used for selection of inputs and outputs.
Remote control panels are interconnected with
standard Ethernet 10Base2 single coax connections.

connector. Panels can be set to control a single
output bus or the entire matrix. The router is supplied

industry. Modular construction offers unique flexibility
to the user, and provides an easy means of adding
