The Dicon PS-12-4-9-13/15-SC is a two-position optical switch plug-in module designed for signal routing and testing in fiber optic systems. Operating across singlemode and multimode wavelengths, this SC-connectorized component integrates into the DiCon GP700M modular mainframe to enable automated or manual optical switching for telecommunications, data networking, and field test applications. The mainframe architecture supports up to eight plug-in modules, allowing scalable optical routing configurations controlled via manual interface, IEEE 488.2 (GPIB), or RS-232.
