OSW1xx Series Optical Switch by Theda Technologies is a high-performance, fully non-blocking all-optical 1x4 or 1x8 or 1x16 or 1x32 Multiplexing switch. It is designed to meet the highest performance and reliability needs of the most demanding applications with exceptionally low optical loss, compact size, low power requirements and fast switching speeds. It has been proven in the most challenging data center and telecom and is also used by major network equipment manufacturers to automate the testing of optical components and subsystems. Its compact size coupled with very low insertion loss make it space efficient while also being environmentally friendly.

    These switches can be used to avoid repeated reconnections during your measurements and are critical to automated procedures. The excellent switching repeatability assures that the signal level is constant from cycle to cycle. The low IL and PDL and high repeatability assure minimum impact of the switch on measurement accuracy. A typical setup may use a 1x4 switch to select among several source wavelengths in a test, while avoiding the time delay for power stabilization if each source must be cycled on and off; or the same digital signal may be switched among several instruments, like a power meter, DCA or BERT.
