Description

This Bird 72-2, 2 Position, 2 Circuit  50-Ohm Coaxial Selector Switch, is in Excellent Condition.

It does not have the position plate but I believe they are available from Bird.

  This Coax switch is still in production and currently retails for $2193.00

You can find then on the used market for less but many are in poor condition.

 This one looks and works great on frequencies from DC to 10 GHz.

Coaxwitch, RF Coaxial Selector Switch


Bird®, 50-Ohm Coaxial Selector Switches employ a unique, rugged and reliable design which permits positive contact, low insertion VSWR and negligible cross talk between channels. The switching mechanism is 4 1/2" of RG-87/U Teflon cable which is pulled away from the mating Male N connectors and rotated to the desired switch position.

The switches have a valuable advantage that they cannot be operated accidentally, but must be operated by intentional sequential movement. The knob must be grasped, pulled out, rotated and pushed in to make contact.

Features

  • Rugged and reliable design which permits positive contact
