The Keysight (Agilent) 8762C is a latching electromechanical coaxial switch engineered for broadband signal routing from DC to 26.5 GHz. This SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) device delivers low insertion loss, high isolation, and exceptional repeatability across demanding automated test environments, RF signal monitoring, and microwave routing applications. The switch features break-before-make actuation, 50 Ω impedance, and 1 W maximum RF power handling.
