VOA & Power Meter Switch Tray
The Polatis VST family of products offers an ideal integration
of optical switching, attenuation and power monitoring in
a single, compact package. This class of switch is unique
to Polatis and delivers significant cost savings for a highly
versatile tool with a single, easy-to-use interface.
Ideal for test environments, the VST provides physical-layer
connectivity for sharing of high value equipment and for
automation of test sequences in design verification and
manufacturing systems. Its instrument-grade performance
ensures the maximum signal fidelity, with ultra-high stability
and repeatability. VST integrated power meters permit rapid
trouble-shooting across the entire test set without patching
in separate meters. The unique VOA function permits
easy control of attenuation for trimming power, or of
preset maximum power levels to protect sensitive
downstream equipment.
Users may fully configure all ports for power meter and VOA
functionality, or choose from sub-populated options. Power
meter options include Input and/or Output detectors, while
optical attenuation options include both Relative attenuation
(power drop across switch) or Absolute attenuation (fixed
output power).
The VST is available in both symmetric (NxN) and
asymmetric (MxN) port configurations, provided in a
standard 19” rack mount enclosure.
DirectLight^® Technology
All Polatis products are based on the patented DirectLight
beam-steering technology, setting the benchmark for
reliable, high performance switching.
Polatis also offers Reconfigurable port and Multimode
optical switch systems, as well as a range of optical switch
modules and standard backplane optical cards.
