Highlights

Flexible RF Switch and Combiner
Kronback Tracers S16 is a compact, flexible RF switch for switching up to sixteen inputs over to one output in the 4 - 1000 MHz range.When the S16 is operated in combiner mode, any input combination can be routed to the output.

Wide Range of Use
The S16 is useful as input expansion for existing return-path measurement systems, including the Kronback Tracers B16 . The S16 is also an excellent choice for n+1 headend redundancy
handling, RF laboratory usage, time-shifting RFchannels and emergency switching.

Web-based User Interface
The S16 is equipped with a web-based user interface, allowing users to name each input individually. The switch and its location can also be named. National characters are allowed in all text fields.

Master-Slave Control
The master-slave function allows multiple S16 units to be connected.
This allows configurations up to 256x1. The web interface of the S16 master unit ensures that the multiple S16 forms one virtual switch.

Remote Control
The IP stack of the S16 provides excellent features for remote-controlling
the unit for access to third-party control software.
