A never-ending SX-Bus: the new Selectrx-Bus-Distributor SXV-GA avoids transition resistances!

13.07.2013 up
By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid con-nection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid con-nection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.

By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid connection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.

This is especially useful for large model railway layouts (of clubs) to avoid the forwarding of the SX-Bus from module to module via numerous plugs and thus to avoid signal degradation of the SX-Bus.

Different assembly options, e.g. with pluggable terminals, offer high flexibility and comfort especially for transportable and modular model railway layouts of clubs:

  • Fixed double-deck terminals
  • Fixed terminal and pluggable terminal
  • Both terminals pluggable
