RFQ
The RJ Series of computer controlled switching systems are designed for physical layer switching of multiwire signals on RJ style connectors. Since the system uses mechanical relays it acts exactly like a piece of cable which makes it perfect for testing networks without altering the signals or regeneration. These systems are typically used for Ethernet LAN 10BaseT through 1000BaseT, DSL including ASML through GFAST, CAT5 through CAT6A cable testing, USB up to 2.0, RS232, RS422, RS485 up to 8 wire at 20 Mbps and many other applications switched over RJ45 connectors up to 8 wires. They may also be used as lab automation switches, network testing switches, patch panels, network redundancy switches or any number of physical layer applications.
Control options include:
The units are available as either single chassis mainframes with dedicated control modules or up to 16 chassis may be controlled from a Mesa II Control chassis at a single IP address, GPIB address or Serial control port
The RJV Series are high performance, bidirectional, passive Multiplexers or Matrices designed for demanding communication applications such as DSL and Ethernet Network Switching. These units are built with high sensitivity Type A Armature Relays to ensure low signal-to-signal crosstalk. Exceptional longitudinal balance and low insertion losses are achieved at high data rates. Connectors are CAT5E or CAT6A RJ45. A modularized design is used, and each Mainframe is built with integrated power supplies, a Control Module and a motherboard that holds the RJV Switch Modules. This results in a great deal of configuration flexibility.
Empty Mainframes to be configured for selected switch modules, purchased separately.

These switch modules use 2 pole relays to provide up to four pairs based on the EIA/TIA 568 pin out for RJ45 connectors.
Modules may be ordered switching one to four pairs. Pairs are pins 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, and 7-8. The most common configurations are 4 or 8 wire modules.
Switch four poles in a 6×2 Matrix configuration as shown. Modules can be assembled in the RJV/48 as one (24×2), two (12×2) or four (6×2) Matrices. In the RJV/144 , one (72×2), two (36×2), four (18×2) or twelve (6×2) Matrices can be provided. Modules use pins 1-2 and 3-6 to comply with 10/100BaseT ethernet standard.
Modules have a 6×4 four wire matrix configuration that also allows signals to be switched to the backplane to form 12×4, 18×4 or 24×4 configurations.
Each RJE chassis holds up to 16 of the RJE/4×1-8 or 16 RJE/2×2-8 Switch Modules. Each module switches up to eight wires (as four pairs) on RJ45 connectors. These switch modules are designed for demanding high speed networking applications up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

The most common configurations are 4 or 8 wire modules.
Modules are used as individual 1×4 multiplexers. Modules may be connected in series to build larger muxes or used with other RJ products to build larger systems.
The RJM Series are physical layer matrix switches which are completely, bidirectional, passive and non-blocking which means they act exactly like a piece of cable. They have RJ45 connectors and can switch 2, 4 or 8 wires using the standard ethernet LAN pinout pairs. Control via LAN, GPIB, RS232 or USB. Manual Control is optional. LED display of switch points and status feedback. • Commonly used for Telco, DSL, ADSL, ADSL+, 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet. • Can hot switch POE. Does not modify signal so perfect for automated test applications. • Use as Automated Patch Panels, Cable test applications, switch any 8 wire signal on RJ45’s.
