The JDSU SB and SC Series of Benchtop/Rack-mount Programmable Switches can be controlled using the front panel keys and a numeric pad or via GPIB and serial RS232 interface. The SB and SC series switches are available in three basic configurations , which are illustrated in Figures 1, 2, and 3, respectively:
The 8163A / 8163B is a high-performance optical multimeter for the characterization and evaluation of optical components. Its modular format makes it flexible enough to meet changing needs when measuring optical power, power loss, or return loss for single or multi-mode components. The 8163A / 8163B mainframe has two slim module slots. The system can host up to two front-loadable modules, of any combination of the following types:
- C configuration: is a single common input model (SB, SC)
- D configuration: provides simultaneous connection of a bank of input fibers to output fibers (SB, SC)
- E configuration: allows for connecting any input to any output while other inputs/outputs are aligned to subsequent/adjacent channels. The switch is non-blocking in this mode and other inputs/outputs are aligned (SB, SC).
