1 Introducing the Optical Switch
Main Features
The Optical Switch provides fiber-to-fiber positioning of optical signals for a
number of optical applications. This module, which exists in various
models depending on the number of optical ports and configuration
options it has, allows you to quickly switch light from one fiber to another.
Note: Actual ports may differ from the illustrations.
The Optical Switch enhances test performances by:
minimizing downtime
automating the testing process
reducing manual intervention in ribbon or multifiber testing
enabling remote testing on multiple fibers
