The RSS-6T station incorporates six (6) Automatic A/B switches. It is ideal for multiple Broadband feeds redundancy applications. The RSS-6T station monitors independently the Broadband feeds (50-1000 MHz) of Headend amplifiers or Trunk feeds for automatic switchover to their respective backup feeds and switch-back to the main feed on signal restoration.

The threshold level at which switching occurs has a built-in Hysterisis and is adjusted separately for each automatic switch module in the chassis. 

The RSS-6T Automatic Redundancy Switch offers a high isolation environment between feeds with minimal insertion loss to 1GHz. 

Front panel LED’s are available to indicate Broadband level presence as well as the switch status, with a toggle switch for local switch override and control. 

For remote switch monitoring and control, standard back-chassis plug-in terminal connections are available for remote level & switch status monitoring and remote switch override and control. Optionally however, an integrated Ethernet or an RS-232 serial port can be added. 

The Ethernet/IP port allows setting of alarms, remote monitoring and switch control with SNMP protocol for integration to Network Operation Centers. It can also be accessed from any Web Browser over the Network  with password protection for local/regional access. 

Other remote monitor & control capabilities include DTMF-tone switch control and Tekron SMC software monitoring  & switch control over dial-up telephone line. 

The RSS-6T like all RSS automatic switching stations, features passive pass-through to maintain signal & Broadband feed at the output in the event of power loss to the station.

The RSS Automatic switch module is designed to switch broadband RF feeds in the 5MHz to 1GHz band. In addition to its use for Trunk feed redundancy, it can also be used for Return-Band automatic redundancy switching applications. 

The RSS-6T is intended for use in Headends where a number of (Trunk) feeds need to be monitored, to provide for example redundancy for launch amplifiers in the Headend. It houses three (6) Automatic Redundancy Switch modules in a rack-mount (2-RU) chassis for independent operation. 

Tekron RSS products offer unique solutions to signal back-up and redundancy in Headend & Hub sites. They address automatic switching applications of Broadband RF & L-Band feeds, digital ASI feeds, analog Video/Audio & IF channels, and single (selectable) CATV channels.
