SKB Series
The JDS Uniphase SKB series controllable optical switch is designed to connect a single optical channel to any of N channels. It is the enhanced version of our legacy SK/SP series switch modules and is the only stepper-motor based switch module available in this market with a lifetime greater than 120 million cycles. Each module can accommodate multiple 1 x N switches that can be internally interconnected to provide various types of configurations, such as blocking M x N, where M represents inputs and N represents outputs, or each module can operate as independent switches. The switch module is available in two package sizes:
- Package size 1 can accommodate up to two switches with total channel count up to 50.
- Package size 2 can accommodate up to four switches with a total channel count up to 100.
