Introducing 6GHz and 26.5GHz high-performance RF Switch Boxes
Ranatec, a part of Qamcom Group and progressive creator of test and measurement equipment for RF and microwave applications, announced today introduced its new ready-to-use switch boxes. The Ranatec RF2037 is a high-performance RF Switch box with six electromechanical coaxial latching SPDT-switches, with DC – 6 GHz, and the RF2038 is a high-performance RF Switch box with six switches, four SP6T and two SPDT (terminated), DC – 26.5 GHz. These two new Switch Box configurations strengthen Ranatec’s position as a provider of high-performance RF switching solutions.
The new Switch Boxes are a natural extension of Ranatec’s existing RF switching portfolio, complementing the company’s current portfolio by adding standardized configurations, while maintaining the same high-quality performance and remote-control capabilities via web interface and API. The new boxes further strengthen Ranatec’s overall offering by combining flexibility and convenience.
– “Expanding our portfolio with ready-to-use standard products, Ranatec addresses a broader range of customer needs and reduces time-to-market for test system integrators” says Charlotte Ornstein at Ranatec.
Measurable benefits in RF Performance and Efficiency
- Wide frequency coverage (up to 26.5 GHz for RF2037 and up to 6 GHz for RF2038), low insertion loss, and comparably high-power handling.
- Off-the-shelf solutions providing simplified purchasing and faster deployment, reducing the need for custom development.
- High-performance specifications enable reliable and accurate testing in demanding environments like telecom production and automated test systems.
- Improved customer efficiency, reduced downtime, while maintaining high product quality.
Key markets include global telecom and electronics industries, particularly regions with strong activity in wireless infrastructure, mobile device production, and test & measurement – such as Europe, North America, and Asia. The products are especially relevant for applications like production testing, MIMO systems, and automated test environments.
