JDSU MLCS-A1108BD Single switch 2x8

The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Large Channel Count Switch (mLCS-A1) is optimized for the industry-leading JDSU MAP-200 platform. Based on the previous generation MAP, the MAP-200 is the first photonic layer lab and anufacturingplatform that is LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI)-compliant byconforming to the required physical attributes, Ethernet connectivity, andinterchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers. The MAP-200 platform isoptimized for density and maximum configurability to meet specific applicationrequirements 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.
