Abstract
An electrical coupling and switching device and associated method advantageous for use with signal bandwidths of 1.5 GHz or more is provided having a housing defining first and second equipment ports for use with coaxial plugs. The housing also defines first and second patch ports for receiving patch plugs, such as video-style plugs. A pair of actuators are positioned within the housing for establishing electrical communication between the equipment ports and a corresponding patch plugs. A flexible microstrip is also provided that, in a normal mode, provides a low return loss, low discontinuity flowpath between the equipment ports, while in a patched mode is flexibly urged away from an equipment port that is patched to the corresponding patch plug via the actuator such that the unpatched equipment port is terminated in its characteristic impedance.
