Microwave Switch Modules The 34946A and 34947A modules provide single-pole, double-throw switches in 4 GHz, 20 GHz, and 26 GHz options. The 34946A and 34947A modules are also available with no switches installed, but include cable kits that allow you to connect switches internal/ external to the module chassis.
S. M. Electronics L.L.C. http://www.smelectronics.us The 34946A module (Options 004, 020, 026) has two independent Keysight N1810TL switches. These terminated 3-port 50-ohm switches are designed to maintain impedance matching. The 34947A module (Options 004, 020, 026) contains three independent Keysight N1810UL switches. These higher density 3-port switches are unterminated.

34946A and 34947A Dual/Triple Microwave Switch Modules 34946A and 34947A Option 001 Installation 4 Feed the ribbon cable up from the bottom. Ensure the cable is centered and straight (90 degrees to the edge of the connector), then gentle squeeze the connector to slightly pinch the cable and prevent it from moving.
Installing Switches Externally to the Module The steps for installing the cable assembly and 9-pin D-Sub connectors are as follows: 1 Remove the 34946A or 34947A cover by removing the screw (T-10 torx) on the top of the instrument (Figure 1). 34946A w/Option 001...
34946A and 34947A Dual/Triple Microwave Switch Modules 34946A and 34947A Option 001 Installation Do not attach the 9-pin D-Sub connector (Step 4) until the strands have been routed through the face plate slots. 3 34947A - Route the right, center, and left 9-pin strands through the corresponding slots of the face plate as shown (Figure 1).

34946A and 34947A Dual/Triple Microwave Switch Modules To install the switches internally, first fasten the connector to each ribbon cable. See the Fastening of 9-pin D-sub connector to the ribbon cable section on page 11 for instructions. Then, secure the connector to the switch using a Pozidrive(PZ1) screwdriver.
34946A and 34947A Option 001 Installation Mounting 4-port/5-port switches Typically 34946A and 34947A are standardized to control the 3-port switches (N1810UL and N1810TL). However, Option 001 can be used to control even the N1811TL (4-port) and N1812UL (5-port). Option 001 comes with stick-on Labels (34946-84302) that will be in the kit to support more than the default 3 port switches;...
