Overview
The SDM8X50 is a 50 ohm, coaxial, 8:1 multiplexer used in a Campbell Scientific time-domain reflectometer system. It consists of a surge-protected multiplexer circuit board enclosed in a metal housing and a separate strain-relief bracket for the coaxial cables. Both the multiplexer housing and strain relief bracket have holes drilled at a 1 in. spacing. This enables you to mount the SDM8X50 to a wall or attach it to the backplate of a user-supplied enclosure or Campbell Scientific enclosure.
When you purchase the SDM8X50 with the –E option, a 10 x 12 x 4.5 in. environmental enclosure and enclosure supply kit are included. Other compatible Campbell Scientific enclosures that you may purchase separately include the ENCTDR100, ENC12/14, ENC14/16, and ENC16/18.
Benefits and Features
- Longer lasting relays; 20 times more operations than SDMX50 relays
- Non-latching relays provide better surge protection
- Hermetically sealed relays are more stable and do not become coated with a non-conducting film
- Quiet operation

Frequently Asked Questions
Number of FAQs related to SDM8X50: 1
-
The hermetically sealed relays used in the SDM8X50 are much quieter than the relays used with the retired SDMX50-series multiplexers. Although listening for the clicking on the SDMX50-series multiplexers was a common method to verify that the multiplexer was powered and communicating with the data logger, that test does not work for the SDM8X50.
