The SIM32 (30-1000MHz) is a modular IF switching system that can be factory configured for distributive FanOUT (SIM32) matrix, or combining FanIN (SIM32i) matrix, or just 1:1 connectivity (SIM32b) with up to a 32x32 matrix in a single 6RU unit. The SIM32X is the same unit but includes our larger Option X touchscreen display.
Field configurable from a small 4x4 to as large as a 32x32, it designed to replace and automate a set of multi-coupler and manual patch cord bays or switches. The input and output axis can be populated independently as needed.
The unit is available in a distributive Fan-OUT version (SIM32) or a combining Fan-IN version (SIM32i). Also now available is the SIM32b version that has no amplifiers or power divider providing 1:1 connectivity. Our technical staff can help configure the exact system for your specific application.

Applications
Our SIM32 is designed to automate connectivity of any IF signals that have been down converted from L-Band or C-Band. Rather than using patch cords and multi-couplers, the following installations may benefit from use of this product:
IF 32x32 Modular Switching System
FanOUT or FanIN, or 1:1 ("b"locking): 30-1000MHz
Detailed Description
Eliminating multi-couplers, manual patch bays and patch cords, the System SIM32 is a solid-state modular switch array specifically designed for routing high performance IF signals through to 1000MHz. Fully populated, the unit provides 32 input ports and 32 output ports. The unit is configurable from as small as 4x4 to 32x32 in independent increments of one input channel or one output channel. This design allows isolated failure capability. Should a blade experience signal damage or other failure, it will only affect that individual channel and not a bank of channels.
The 6RU rack mount unit can be populated with up to thirty-two input blades and thirty-two output output blades. The input blades install at the rear of the unit while the output blades install at the front (behind the hinged front panel). All blades are secured within the unit but front and rear retaining plates for rugged and trouble free operation.
The front panel includes a touchscreen display with menu driven operation. The screen may be pass-code locked to prevent unintentional operation. The unit can be configured with one or two (full redundant) hot-swappable plug-in control CPUs.
Each CPU includes an LXI 10/100/1G Ethernet port (with web browser), a multi-serial control port (RS-232/422/485) and a microSD card slot for secure environments. Self-monitoring hot-swap plug-in power supplies are standard with an independent and redundant design. The unit has independent dual AC power inputs designed for any international AC power source. Compatible with our RouteWarePRO control software.
The SIM32 units are delivered complete, 100% tested, and ready for installation & integration. The following items are included:
System SIM32
Two 6'-foot power cords
Resource disc (#RDSIM32)
Hardware accessory kit
Warranty registration card
Free lifetime technical support
Free lifetime firmware updates
Two power cords are provided as the unit comes standard with redundant (and independent) power supplies. Care should be given to the Resource Disc as this has all documentation and instructions. Electronic copies of the Operations Manual and Programmers Guide are included, as well as RouteWarePRO control and monitoring software with a 30-Day free trial.
