Pickering 40-860-022 Dual 2x2 Fiber Optic Insert/Bypass Switch
Pickering’s 40-860-022 is a PXI high-density dual 2x2 insert/bypass fiber optic switch module that employs MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) to achieve precise control over redirection of optical signals for flexible routing and configuration options in test and measurement configurations. The module has been specifically designed to support single-mode operation in the wavelength range of 1240 to 1640 nm; this enables use of the 40-860-022 in common telecommunications and optical component testing applications. Additionally, the module offers users a number of options regarding the style of front panel connectors, such as FC/APC, FC/PC and SC/PC, to enable seamless integration with previously installed fiber infrastructure.
Operational key specifications include; a typical insertion loss of 0.8 dB, an excellent return loss of greater than 55 dB and therefore, signal degradation will be at a minimum. The module also has a very fast switching time of 1 ms and an extraordinary number of switches per hour (i.e., >10 million). These specifications provide reliable switching for the automation of repetitive testing. The module is built on the principles of high repeatability and stability under changing environmental conditions and has a typical crosstalk isolation of -60 dB to eliminate crosstalk between channels. With a focus on speed, longevity and optical quality, this is what enables the 40-860-022 to perform dynamic optical path management.
The 40-860-022 is a PXI-based fiber optic switch and will be used primarily for optical signal routing, configuring fiber networks and testing fiber optic components. With the ability to programmatically insert test equipment into a line or bypass it, the switch module facilitates both in-line testing and network protection methods. The 40-860-022 is provided as a dual 2x2 matrix in a 3U 2-slot PXI form factor and therefore doubles the amount of switching capacity available per unit of space compared to previous generations of products. The 40-860-022 is supported by a complete software package, which includes VISA and IVI drivers to allow for ease of integration into ATE systems developed in common programming environments. As well as being compatible with PXI chassis, the module is compatible with LXI chassis to offer flexibility in terms of system architectures when implementing both local and remote testing solutions.
