Overview

The SDM8X50 is a 50 ohm, coaxial, 8:1 multiplexer used in a Campbell Scientific time-domain reflectometer system. It consists of a surge-protected multiplexer circuit board enclosed in a metal housing and a separate strain-relief bracket for the coaxial cables. Both the multiplexer housing and strain relief bracket have holes drilled at a 1 in. spacing. This enables you to mount the SDM8X50 to a wall or attach it to the backplate of a user-supplied enclosure or Campbell Scientific enclosure.

When you purchase the SDM8X50 with the –E option, a 10 x 12 x 4.5 in. environmental enclosure and enclosure supply kit are included. Other compatible Campbell Scientific enclosures that you may purchase separately include theENCTDR100,ENC12/14,ENC14/16, andENC16/18.

Benefits and Features

• Longer lasting relays; 20 times more operations than SDMX50 relays
• Non-latching relays provide better surge protection
• Hermetically sealed relays are more stable and do not become coated with a non-conducting film
• Quiet operation
