The JDSU OWB10002 Optical Workbench Receiver Chassis is a 9-slot mainframe designed for passive optical component characterization within the SWS2000, SWS1700, SWS15100, and SWS16100 Series systems. This receiver platform integrates dual-band selector, control, and detector modules to enable insertion loss, polarization dependent loss, and return loss measurements across C- and L-band wavelengths. The distributed architecture allows a single tunable laser source to serve multiple independent test stations, reducing capital expenditure while maintaining high wavelength resolution and dynamic range.
