• Key performance specifications
• Insertion Loss < 2dB
• Guaranteed lifetime > 10 Mio. cycles
• PDL < 0.07dB for Single-mode option
• Highest repeatablity specified over 10.000 random switch cycles: 0.03dB

The plug-in module for Keysight's Lightwave Solution Platform 8163B, 8164B, 8166B is ideal for flexible system configuration in applications such as transceiver/receiver test with small foot-print or multiple passive component test with complex cascade.

The Keysight modular design of the optical switch features a 1x4 matrix in both SMF and MMF with low insertion loss and highly repeatable switch routing in <10 ms switching time.

Routing of various optical sources such as laser in various wavelenght range and routing of various optical receiver such as power sensor, oscilloscope, BERT.

Features:

• Highest repeatablity specified over 10.000 random switch cycles: 0.03dB
