The JDS Uniphase SC1C10321+27XF000SC is a 1×32 fiber optic switch designed for precision optical signal routing in telecommunications, research, and automated testing. This C-configuration model routes a single common input to any of 32 output channels across the extended C-band and L-band wavelength range. The switch employs expanded beam lens technology with a precision stepper motor for reliable channel selection and internal thermal regulation for stable long-term performance.
