They offer a modular design allowing custom switching configurations. Due to the nature of routing fiber optic cables and modules, the SM8000 series cannot be mixed in one base unit with other standard SMIP II products. They have their own single-slot or double-slot base units (SMIP II platform).
This includes up to 12 single mode prism switches, or 4 multi-switch modules of various configurations, or 4 variable attenuators or tunable filters. The optical modules may be mixed and matched on a single SM8000. Please contact VXI Technology, Inc. directly for available configurations.
(1) SMIP II VXIbus module (1) SM8000 Series Optical Switch User’s Manual (this manual) All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit. Once the SMIP II is assessed to be in good condition, it may be installed into an appropriate C- size or D-size VXIbus chassis in any slot other than slot zero.
