Applications
Simplex 1xN Switches have one input aligned to one of N outputs.
The components switch in one-channel increments. Duplex 1xN
switches have two inputs aligned to two outputs. They switch in
two-channel increments.
All specifications referenced without connectors.
1.2 dB max. for multiple wavelength ranges.
Sequential repeatability for 100 cycles at constant temperature after warm-up.
Singlemode only. Measured at 1550 nm.
Corning Panda PM 1300 fiber type only.
High power version (2W) available as special order.
