Failure to comply with any of these instructions or with any precaution or warning contained in the user’s manual is in direct violation of the standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the unit. JDS Uniphase assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with any of these safety requirements.
unit’s internal mechanism if immediate first aid is not accessible. • Disconnect the power cord from the unit before adding or removing any components. • Operating the unit in the presence of flammable gases or fumes is extremely hazardous. • Do not perform any operating or maintenance procedure that is not described in the user’s manual.
26-pin parallel interface. It connects a single fiberoptic channel to any of N (up to 26) channels. Small and rugged, the SK Series switch module is designed to be used in embedded applications and is available in both single-mode and multimode versions.
The SK switch operates on a single 5 V ±5% DC power supply and is controlled through a simple parallel interface consisting of seven data lines, a reset line, a strobe line, and a busy line. Key Features • Up to 26 channels •...

Getting Started The SK Series Fiberoptic Switch Module consists of the switch and a ribbon cable with a standard dual row connector. Before Initializing and Operating the Unit Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Read the user’s manual thoroughly, and become familiar with all safety symbols and instructions to ensure that the unit is operated and maintained safely.
Humidity The unit can be operated in environments with up to 95% humidity (non-condensing, 0 to 55 °C). Do not expose it to any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can cause condensation to form inside the unit. Warning •...
2. Apply optical grade isopropyl alcohol or optical grade ethanol (do not use rubbing alcohol) to a small area of a lint-free towel and rub the end of the ferrule over the wet area. 3. Wipe the ferrule on a dry area of the lint-free towel. 4.

All transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL) inputs and outputs are pulled high to 5 V DC through 10 K ohm resistors. For inputs, the maximum low level output is 0.8 V, and the minimum high level is 2.0 V. For outputs, the maximum low level output is 0.5 V, and the minimum high level is 4.0 V. Fiber Exit The fibers always exit from the back of the unit (Figure 5), but the order can vary with the unit.
Operating and Maintenance Instructions External Description The top and side views of the SK switch module are shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: Top and Side Views of the SK Switch Connections The way that the SK switch interfaces with the input/output lines of a typical host controller is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Typical Controller Connections Pin Functional Description Data Lines (D0 to D6) Valid channel numbers are strobed in through the data lines on high-to-low transitions of the /Strobe line. When a new channel is strobed in, the SK switch immediately selects the channel. The channel number is represented as a binary number present on the data lines having the values listed in the channel address in Table 5.

Table 5: Channel Address Table /Reset channel # 0 (reset) The value 0 indicates that the input is set low (for example, <0.8 V DC); the value 1 indicates that the input is set high. For example, to select channel 9, D3 must be set high and the rest of the data lines must be set low.
If the test fails, the Error line goes high and stays high until a self-test operation is evoked again (assuming the self-test passes on the next attempt). The error most often indicates a mechanical fault. For more information, contact JDS Uniphase. Timing When a channel address is strobed in from the data lines, the reset command is strobed in from the /Reset line.
Timing Key The timing key symbols and values are listed in Table 6. Table 6: Timing Key Symbol Minimum Maximum tdh, data hold time 20 µs – tstr, strobe pulse width 1 µs – tmv, switching cycle time – 0.55 ms trh, reset hold time 20 µs –...
