The 60-552 is a very high density 4096 relay crosspoint matrix with a 2A rating capable of switching voltages up to 220V DC or 250V AC.
The fully loaded version of the 60-552 is supplied as a 64x64 matrix, but partial x64 configurations are also available.
Like the 60-600, the 60-552 is supplied in a compact 1U full rack width enclosure but uses 78-way D-Type connectors for the user connections.
Loop thru connections are provided to simplify the creation of even larger matrices by using cabled connections between multiple 60-552 matrices.
These cables can be purchased from Pickering Interfaces.
David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces said "These matrices are part of our expanding range of large-scale switching solutions available with LXI compliant control interfaces".
"LXI is proving to be an ideal platform for Pickering Interfaces to develop large switching systems that suit a wide variety of application".
"The form factor of the units permits the creation of systems that are easy to configure and simple to program".
