General Information
1.4 CB Matrices
CB-Series stands for Crossbar. It is a matrix with several inputs connecting to
several outputs. Only one input can be connected to one output at any given
time.
The switches are populated inside the matrix chassis and are interconnected so
that any input can connect to any output and vice versa. All input/output RF
ports are available to the user on the rear panel of the matrix. Depending on the
size of the switch and the quantities needed, the matrix size can grow from
2RU to 4RU (or even larger).
