Optical Switch 1
1 Introducing the FTB-9100
Optical Switch
Main Features
The FTB-9100 Optical Switch provides highly accurate and repeatable
fiber-to-fiber switching for the FTB-500 test modules.
Note: Actual connectors may differ from the illustration.
The Optical Switch enhances test performances by
³minimizing downtime
³automating the testing process
³reducing manual intervention in ribbon or multifiber testing
³enabling remote testing on multiple fibers

Basic Switching Principles
The FTB-9100 Optical Switch supports local control (via the ToolBox
software) and remote control (through GPIB, RS-232, or Ethernet TCP/IP
using SCPI commands or the provided LabVIEW drivers). For more
information, refer to the FTB-500 user guide.
Basic Switching Principles
The switch ports of 1 x N optical switches are numbered on the front panel,
while the common port is identified as such.
These switches are bidirectional. This means that the optical signal can
either enter through the common port and be directed toward any switch
port, or enter through any switch port and then be directed toward the
common port.

Typical Application, OTDR Testing
Typical Application, OTDR Testing
You can use your switch to test several fibers with an OTDR without having
to connect and disconnect them before each acquisition.
For more information, refer to the EXFO OTDR user guide.
