The JDSU MLCS-A1 Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Large Channel Count Switch series is optimized for the industry-leading JDSU MAP-200 platform. Based on the previousgeneration MAP, the MAP-200 is the first photonic layer lab and manufacturing platform that is LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI)-compliant by conforming to the required physical attributes, Ethernet connectivity, and interchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers. The MAP-200 platform is optimized for density and maximum configurability to meet specific application requirements in the smallest possible foot print. The MAP Large Channel Count Switch is based on JDSU expanded beam and alignment technologies and exhibits low insertion loss (IL) and high return loss (RL). It is available in single-switch configurations from 1x4 up to 1x50, dual independent switch configurations from 1x4 up to 1x25, and both single and dual independent switch configurations from 2x4 to 2x16. An important element of an optical test bed, optical switches increase throughput by enabling time-saving automation, reduce uncertainty from repeated connector mating, and maximize usage of expensive test equipment. Key Features. Insertion loss (IL) <0.7 dB and return loss (RL) >57 dB. Low polarization dependent loss (PDL) 0.04 dB. Up to 1x50 switch configurations in a single width cassette. Single and dual 2xN switch configurations. Switching time (first channel / each additional channel) 25 ms/15 ms. Maximum input power (optical) 300 mW.
