MIL-STD-1553 Bus Modular Switch Matrix
Description
Automating “patch panels” is a proven & effective method to reduce facility operating costs by increasing efficiency, productivity, repeatability, and reliability. Our BS1553F(X) unit is a modular high density 5RU automated patch unit that can be configured in symmetric or asymmetric configurations from 8x8 to 64x64 within the same chassis. Designed specifically for a passive differential signal path, high reliability mechanical relay technology is used with DC coupling (no transformers). Each input and output is terminated with 78 ohms (center pin to inner shield) when not selected to be patched. The internal stubbreaking design provides a nearly “transparent” 1553B environment to allow for accurate bus simulations. Fully populated, this 5RU unit contains a total of 64 inputs and 64 outputs where each input can be connected to any one of the 64 outputs. The BS1553FX is the same but has a 10.1” display (Option X) and additional front panel features. The unit comes standard with redundant hot-swap power supplies, and is available with either single or dual (redundant) hot-swap C3 controllers installed. The C3 controller features 10/100 Ethernet (LXI certified), USB 2.0 and multi-serial (RS-232C/422A/485) control ports. Contact your local sales representative or the factory for assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fully populated 5RU unit contains a total of 64 inputs and 64 outputs where each input can be connected to any one of the 64 outputs.
The BS1553FX is the same as the BS1553F but has an additional 10.1" display and front panel features.
It is used for automating "patch panels" to increase efficiency, productivity, repeatability, and reliability, specifically for a passive differential signal path.
It is suitable for aircraft design labs, test ranges, clock and data routing, telemetry sites, MIL-STD-1553 simulation labs, tracking stations, survivability labs, computer room installations, communication centers, and weapons testing centers.
The C3 controller features 10/100 Ethernet (LXI certified), USB 2.0, and multi-serial (RS-232C/422A/485) control ports.
