B&W (Barker And Williamson) Model 550A Coaxial Cable 5 Way Switch
B&W (Barker And Williamson) Model 550A Coaxial Cable 5 Way Switch
The Barker & Williamson coaxial switches feature heavy duty silver plated switch contacts, ceramic switch decks and rugged steel enclosures. They handle the legal amateur power with ease and low SWR. The box may be wall mounted by means of holes in the back or rest on a surface. VSWR is less than 1.2 to 1 for 0-30 MHz and less than 1.5 for up to 150 MHz. Impedance is 50 to 75 ohms.
This "Made in USA” switch was designed to handle Ham Radio’s legal limit of power on the HF bands with both 52 ohm and 75 ohm coax transmission lines. The screws that hold the switch together are extra long to allow the switch to be mounted to a panel or bracket.
