A 1xN configuration is shown more closely in Figure 3.
Packages
The SKB switch is available in two package configurations:
•
Package 1 can accommodate up to two 1xN switches with a single control interface
•
Package 2 can accommodate up to four 1xN switches with a single control interface
Components
For large channel count switches, a high-precision stepper motor is used to align optical
channels. The use of collimating lenses minimizes insertion loss.
For some applications, optional relay-based switches can be used.
Passive devices can be incorporated on a custom basis.
Latching and Non-Latching
Latching and non-latching SKB switches have the same functionality, command set, and
specifications, with the following differences:
