Agilent/Keysight U7106E

The Keysight U7106E is a single-pole-six-throw (SP6T) electromechanical switch engineered for high-speed digital system debugging, validation, and automated test applications. Operating from DC to 50 GHz with latching switching capability, it delivers superior RF performance through 70 dB minimum isolation at 50 GHz and 1.6 maximum VSWR at 50 GHz. The switch reduces cost of ownership by enabling multi-DUT and multi-channel DUT testing while minimizing calibration cycles in automated test systems.
