Optical Switch
OSX-100
Optical Switch Invisible
In all aspects, OSX-100 is designed to be invisible within your application. Its repeatability
of ± 0.005 dB makes it ideal for any automated or long term measurement application and
IL < 0.5 dB makes it a perfect fit for tight IL budgets. Each channel will maintain a high
signal-to-noise ratio thanks to the OSX’s excellent crosstalk < -80 dB.
Features
Benchtop or Rackmount
• Up to 400 outputs
• Ultra low IL < 0.5 dB
• ± 0.005 dB repeatability OSX-100 is available in 3 form factors:
• Crosstalk < -80 dB • 2U half rack benchtop up to 48 ch (rack ears available)
• Customization available
• 3U full rack up to 185 ch
• 6U full rack up to 400 ch
