The Dicon GP700 15×15 is a modular fiber-optic switching platform engineered for precision testing, measurement, and network management applications. It integrates multiple optical switch modules, variable attenuators, and tunable filters within a single configurable chassis, supporting both singlemode and multimode fiber types. The system routes optical signals through passive switch elements without optical-to-electrical conversion, operating independently of wavelength, direction, bandwidth, data rate, and signal format. On-site module upgrades and custom configurations accommodate evolving operational requirements across production environments.
