Overview
The Optical 8-Port Selector Switch (OSW8) maps a common
optical port to any of the eight selectable optical ports. With a
low insertion loss and steady switching operation, the module
allows cost-effective sharing of expensive test and measurement
equipment on the common port. More generally, the OSW8
simply selects one of eight data routes through the module.
One application of the OSW8 allows the Fiber Driver Optical
Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) to monitor up to eight independent
data ports for powerful remote network administration.
The Fiber Driver network manager (LNXNM-OT) module provides
remote access to the OSW8 switch to select the data path from
anywhere on the network. The same manager also controls all
other Fiber Driver modules within the chassis for additional
capital investment value.
