The JDS Uniphase SC1C40064+27AF005FA is a 1×6 optical switch module engineered for wavelength-selective routing in singlemode fiber networks. This configurable switch combines expanded beam lens technology with precision stepper motor alignment to deliver low insertion loss and exceptional switching repeatability across the extended C and L bands. The module operates in both non-blocking mode for simultaneous multi-channel alignment and blocking mode (F configuration) for single-channel operation, making it suitable for optical test systems, reconfigurable networks, and laboratory environments demanding high optical fidelity.
