Pickering's LXI high frequency (HF) matrix modules are suitable for switching frequencies up to 50MHz. They have an impedance of 50Ω and use SMB signal connectors or with a larger case size they use BNC connectors. This HF matrix is designed to provide a simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for radio frequencies and is intended for the easy construction of high-performance bidirectional matrix switching systems.

Software configuration allows it to be set as a dual 24 by 8 matrix, a single 48 by 8 matrix and other configurations. A flexible isolation switch arrangement permits the matrices to be configured so the matrix can be expanded with other modules while maximizing the bandwidth of the switching system. This high-frequency matrix is supplied in a compact 1U high, rack width case with 340mm depth; the BNC version is housed in a 2U high case with 500mm depth. It is fully programmable via the LAN interface using a variety of drivers. Industry-standard (W3C) web browsers can be used to access and change configuration information and provide access to the soft front panels.

These matrices are supported by a comprehensive range of cable and connector accessories and come with a standard 3-year warranty.
