JDS Uniphase SC2D10321+27XF000FA

The JDS Uniphase SC2D10321+27XF000FA is a programmable fiber optic switch for optical communication systems and component testing. It operates in benchtop or rack-mount configuration with front panel and remote control via GPIB and RS232 interfaces. The switch employs expanded beam lens technology with precision stepper motor alignment and collimating optics to achieve low insertion loss and high repeatability. Internal temperature control maintains operational stability across ambient variations.
