Electro Standards Laboratories’ new Pathway M7954 dual channel RS-530 mode-S switch has a DB25 interface, remote control and solid-state auto-switching functions. It provides the user with two independent channels of A/B switch functionality. The Model 7954 also uses solid-state analog switches for improved reliability,  according to the company, featuring no moving parts or contacts to degrade.

This switch’s A/B function permits data on input MPS ports from either of two devices connected to ports MPSA-IN and MPSB-IN, to stream through to output ports MPSA-OUT and MPSB-OUT, respectively. Only one position,  A or B, may stream data at a time for each channel and 12 pins per channel are supported (four pins switched, eight pins bussed through). There are no local control buttons on this network switch. All position control is managed via the remote port, featuring a custom interface DB25 connector located on the rear of the unit.
