PathWay® Model 7323 BNC Interface 32-1 Switch, Remotely Controllable, Rackmount

Overview

The Model 7323 BNC 32-1 Switch from Electro Standards delivers a powerful, enterprise-grade solution for managing complex coaxial signal environments. Designed for engineers, lab operators, and mission-critical systems, this rackmount switch enables seamless sharing of a single BNC interface across up to 32 devices—without compromising signal integrity or operational efficiency. The Model 7323 isn’t just a switch—it’s a control platform for complex BNC networks. With robust remote capabilities, high channel density, and industrial-grade reliability, it empowers teams to streamline operations, reduce downtime, and scale with confidence.

• Share any BNC peripherals that have BNC Coaxial Interface

• A Field-Proven High Quality Data Network Switch

FEATURES OF THE MODEL 7323 32-1 REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE SWITCH:

• Switch locally via (32) front panel pushbuttons, or remotely via an RS232 Serial Remote Port.
• The switch ports are transparent to all data.
• Front panel LED indicators display switch position and power status.
• Both center and shell of the BNC interface, are switched via break-before-make electromechanical relays. (RG58 Cable Material)
• The unit maintains last set position on power loss and continues to pass data.
• Switch powers up in last known position.
• Switches Center conductor and shield of the RG58 cable material.
• Front panel pushbutton controls.
• Remote RS232 ASCII commands, that allow the user to control switch position, obtain switch status, as well as query firmware version number and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.
• Rugged aluminum package provides EMI/RFI Shielding.
• For a similar unit, see Model 7206 10 to 1 BNC Switch.
• Custom length BNC Coaxial data cables for this switch are available.

MODEL 7323 BNC 32-to-1 SWITCH OPERATION:

• The PathWay® Model 7323 Remotely Controllable BNC Interface 32-1 Switch allows the user the capability of sharing a single BNC interface device connected to the Common port among 32 other devices connected to ports 1-32. The Model 7323 is packaged in a rackmount style enclosure.
• The switch may be controlled manually via front panel pushbuttons or remotely from an RS-232 serial port located on the rear of the unit.
• Switch position status may be attained via the front panel LED display or the remote-control RS-232 serial port located on the rear of the unit.
