The 7702BPX-IF and 7703BPX-IF 2x1 RF protection switches for IF frequencies provide automatic changeover functionality to provide bypass protection for RF signals from 10MHz to 850MHz. Typical applications include main/standby failover protection for 70/140MHz uplink applications.  The 7703BPX-IF has integrated VistaLINK® technology for remote control and monitoring capability via SNMP. This provides the user with the ability to locally or remotely configure and monitor parameters such as module status, selected input, power level and switching threshold.

When used for automatic changeover, the 7702BPX-IF and 7703BPX-IF have a MAIN input and a STANDBY input. It will automatically switch to the Standby input when the Main input power is weak or lost. Switch back to the Main input when the signal is re-established may be configured to happen automatically or manually. The 7702/7702BPX-IF may also be configured to operate manually as a 2:1 switch, which may be controlled locally or remotely via GPI or SNMP (7703 model only).

The 7702BPX-IF and 7703BPX-IF occupy one card slot and can be housed in the 1RU 7701FR frame which holds up to three single or dual slot modules, the 3RU 7800FR frame which has a 15 slot capacity, the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity, or a standalone enclosure which holds a single module.
