Figure 2: Single-Common Configuration Dual-Common (SB-D) Switch Configuration The D configuration provides simultaneous connection of a bank of inputs to outputs (Figure 3). The input A can be connected to 1A of 1B or …(N/2)A. In this dual-common configuration, channel connections are stepped in pairs. The channel displayed is the current channel pair (A and B). The number of channel pairs is equal to one-half of the total number of channels (N). Figure 3: Dual-Common Configuration Single Step D
