What is a Redundancy Switch?

Redundancy switches are RF switches that allow redundancy switching between a primary unit to a backup secondary unit when the primary fail, so as to assure constant and stable RF signal connection. Redundancy switch incorporates an RF detection system and automatic/manual switching mechanism. In auto mode, RF sensing detects the presence of primary RF signal feed. When the primary unit fails, it allows redundancy switching between the primary unit to a backup secondary unit to assure constant and stable RF signal connection. The switch also monitors the backup feed, and if this fails, it will switch back to the main primary feed if the primary is present/active.

Redundancy switch is ideal for integration in teleports, satellite earth-stations, broadcasting and cable/IPTV headend architectures providing excellent and stable performance during operation.
