Cabletech switch connector MRS-101-2 — Cabletech MRS-101-2 switch connector

Cabletech switch connector MRS-101-2 is a compact mechanical component for changing signal routing between two cable paths. Designed by Cabletech for manual switching, it enables an installer or user to select between two inputs or outputs without altering the cabling layout. The device is intended for low-frequency and audiovisual applications where a simple, connector-based switch is preferred over electronic or motorized solutions.

Advantages

The switch connector offers a straightforward mechanical design that requires no power source and provides tactile feedback when changing positions. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for confined installation spaces and simple integration into existing cable runs. The product is compatible with common coaxial and low-frequency signal lines and is built for reliable contact during repeated manual operations.

Suitable for

• Manual switching between two antenna or RF signal paths
• Routing audio or video signals in small AV installations
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations where simple mechanical switching is sufficient
• Workshop or test-bench setups for switching signal sources

Key specifications

• Mechanical switch mechanism for physically changing connection between two signal paths
• Designed for low-frequency and audiovisual signal applications
• Compact form factor suitable for confined installation spaces
• No external power required for operation
• Intended for manual operation with tactile position feedback

How to use

Mount the Cabletech switch connector into the desired position within the cable run or installation panel and connect the two signal cables to the designated ports. To change the active signal path, move the mechanical actuator to the alternate position until the connector latches or provides a clear tactile indication. Ensure cables are securely seated and that connections match the intended signal type (e.g., antenna, audio, video). Periodically inspect the contacts for wear or corrosion in environments with elevated humidity or salt exposure.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch connector in dry, indoor environments whenever possible and avoid applying excessive mechanical force when changing positions. For critical or high-frequency RF systems, verify signal integrity after installation and consider using a purpose-built RF switch if frequent remote switching or low insertion loss is required.
