Overview
The 50-510 series of matrix cards feature a wide range of selectable switching configurations
(22x4,dual 20x4,22x8 and 44x4). Larger matrices may be constructed by Daisy Chaining
the common signals from multiple PCI cards. For example four 44x4 Cards will form
a 176x4 Matrix, a total of 704 crosspoints.
Expansion cables are available for the 50-512 and 50-513:
The 50-512 can be expanded to 44x8 or the 50-513 can be expanded to 88x4 using two
cards linked by the ribbon cable assembly 50-976-020-0.1M.
Also the 50-512 can be expanded to 22x16 or the 50-513 can be expanded to 44x8 using
two cards linked by the ribbon cable assembly 50-976-050-0.1M.
