Switching chassis for high density multiplexer

The Modular Switching Chassis for test benches has been developed by Tame-Test designers to meet your needs and constraints in terms of test environments. This versatile, adaptable and compact 4U-high enclosure fits perfectly into a standard 19" test bay.

Under the CHAS-8SLO-4U-01 reference number, Tame-Test's modular chassis enables in particular:

  • Continuous interconnection of up to 12 measuring instruments with the multiplexing system also developed by Tame-Test (TT-MUX-2 4C-2P-2B-01). Thanks to its 8 internal bipolar common buses, this chassis facilitates and rationalizes connections, and improves signal routing for efficient, optimal connectivity.
  • Give access to all multiplexer card functions and channels (up to 8 multiplexer modules) to the various test instruments connected to the chassis' rear panel.
  • Control modules via a LAN connection, thanks to its Ethernet interface. The TT-MUX-2 4C-2P-2B-01 multiplexer is supplied with a man-machine interface (MMI) developed by Tame-Test. A LabView driver, compatible with standard validation and automatic test environments, is also provided for test sequences.

The switchgear cabinet is equipped with a protection and cooling system to ensure optimum test performance and equipment longevity.

Product Features

The CHAS-8SLO-4U-01 Switching Chassis is : 

  • Flexible and configurable 
  • Compact 
  • Secure 
  • CE-compliant

Flexible and configurable

The modular design of the chassis makes it easy to customize and integrate test modules, while software connectivity options ensure continuous communication between components. It offers a range of features and high performance to enhance and automate your PCB, product and system test processes. 

Connecting eight TT-MUX-24C-2P-2B-01 multiplexer modules to the chassis provides an advanced switching system. This system gives the measuring instruments installed in your automatic test bench access to 384 channels, each supporting 2 poles. This versatile configuration harnesses the power of Tame-Test's TT-MUX-24C-2P-2B-01 multiplexers (sold separately), guaranteeing efficient and comprehensive connectivity for your testing needs.

Compact 

The chassis is 4U high and half a rack wide. This space-saving design maximizes the use of your 19" test rack installation. 

Secure

In addition to CE conformity, the switching chassis features a protection and cooling system to manage heat dissipation and maintain a constant operating temperature for the equipment. 

Streamlined switching at the heart of your test system
