• The JDSU SB, SC, and SCG series of Benchtop/Rackmount Programmable Switches can be controlled using the front panel keys and a numeric pad or via GPIB and serial RS-232 interface.
• The SCG series ganged input switches allow a single switch instrument to replace multiple switch elements while maintaining low loss.
• In this series of switches, the inputs are ganged together in a particular sequence and are thus able to offer three different modes of operation.

The SB and SC series switches are available in four basic configurations:

• C configuration - is a single common input model
• D configuration - provides simultaneous connection of a bank of input Fibres to output Fibres
• E configuration - allows any input to be connected 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
• F configuration - enables one of the inputs to be aligned with an output in a blocking sense, with a result in reduction of available output channels and a low-loss M x N blocking switch.

• Operation of these switches is based upon JDSU's proven expanded beam lens technology, which utilises a precision stepper-motor to align optical channels.
• The use of collimating lenses minimises insertion loss (IL) and improves repeatability and performance.
• Internal temperature control of the switching mechanism ensures excellent operational stability.
• Both single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM) versions of the SB, SC, and SCG series switches are available.
• The series features the high level of performance required for multi-unit testing in R&D and in manufacturing environments.
• The compact, portable SB switch and the standard rackmount enclosure SC and SCG switches are highly suited for applications in telecommunications, manufacturing, and test environments.
• JDSU's SB and SC switches are known in the Fibreoptic industry for their low IL and excellent repeatability.
• In addition to the many standard options available, we also customise switches in this series to meet your specific application needs.
