The **M6SWVS-55-R/UL** is a specialized electronic component, typically categorized as a **VGA (Video Graphics Array) Switch/Splitter** or a high-frequency signal interface module, often used in professional AV installations or legacy industrial computer systems. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview This component is designed to manage analog video signals (VGA/RGBHV) while maintaining signal integrity across multiple paths. | Parameter | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | VGA Video Switch / Interface Module | | **Signal Standard** | VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA | | **Connector Configuration** | High-density D-Sub 15-pin (typical) | | **Impedance** | 75 Ohms (standard for video signals) | | **Compliance** | UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Certified | | **RoHS Status** | "R" suffix indicates RoHS Compliance (Lead-Free) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Signal Bandwidth The "55" in the part number often refers to the supported bandwidth or a specific revision of the internal frequency response (e.g., 550 MHz). High bandwidth is critical for: * Supporting high-resolution displays without ghosting. * Maintaining sharp edges in analog signal transmissions. #### B. Shielding and Interference The housing is generally constructed with **Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)** shielding. * **Metal Shell:** Reduces crosstalk between video channels (Red, Green, Blue signals). * **UL Rating:** The "UL" designation ensures the plastics and internal insulation meet strict fire safety and electrical breakdown standards. #### C. Manual vs. Electronic Switching Depending on the specific sub-configuration of the M6SWVS series: * **Passive Switching:** Uses physical contact points to route the signal. * **Active Switching:** Includes an internal amplifier to prevent signal degradation over long cable runs. --- ### 3. Pinout Logic (D-Sub 15) The internal wiring of this part follows the standard VGA pinout to ensure compatibility with monitors and graphics cards: ```text Pin 1: Red Video Pin 6: Red Ground Pin 2: Green Video Pin 7: Green Ground Pin 3: Blue Video Pin 8: Blue Ground Pin 13: Horizontal Sync Pin 14: Vertical Sync ``` --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Industrial Control Rooms:** Switching between multiple CPU outputs to a single monitoring station. * **Server Racks:** Integration into KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) setups. * **Legacy AV Systems:** Interfacing older analog equipment with modern UL-compliant safety infrastructures.
