JDS Uniphase SC1C31003+27XF001NC

The JDS Uniphase SC1C31003+27XF001NC is a programmable fiber optic switch module designed for high-speed optical routing in test, measurement, and manufacturing environments. Built on expanded beam lens technology with precision stepper motor alignment, this benchtop/rack-mount unit delivers low insertion loss and exceptional repeatability across single-mode and multimode fiber channels. Control is available via front panel keypad, GPIB, or RS232 interface, making it suitable for automated system integration and manual operation alike.

## Technical Specifications

• **Insertion Loss:** Typically 0.4 dB (excluding connectors)
• **Repeatability:** Typically 0.003 dB
• **Return Loss:** Greater than 65 dB typical
• **Maximum Channel Capacity:** Up to 180 channels
• **Fiber Compatibility:** Single-mode (9/125 µm) and multimode
• **Optical Connector Types:** FC/PC and configuration-dependent variants
• **Power Supply:** Single 5 V ±5% DC
• **Operating Temperature Control:** Internal thermal stabilization for consistent performance

## Key Features

• Expanded beam lens optical path minimizes loss and maximizes alignment repeatability
• Multiple control interfaces: front panel numeric keypad, GPIB, and RS232 serial connectivity
• Available in C, D, E, and F configurations with variable input/output channel arrangements
• Precision stepper motor positioning ensures repeatable channel switching
• Supports both single-mode and multimode fiber in the same module
• CE and cCSAus regulatory compliance

## Typical Applications

• Fiber optic component characterization and testing
• Automated system test and validation
• Research and development signal routing
• Large-scale input/output reconfiguration in manufacturing

## Compatibility & Integration

The module integrates with standard laboratory and production environments through parallel control signaling (data lines, reset, strobe, and busy signals on SK series variants). Optical connector selection and channel configuration options accommodate diverse fiber types and system architectures. Configuration variants allow customization for specific channel count and I/O arrangement requirements.
