The JDSU SC 2X24 Series is a configurable fiber optic switch delivering high-performance optical routing across telecommunications, data center, and test environments. Built on expanded beam lens technology with precision stepper motor control, this 2×24 switch (2 input channels, 24 output channels) provides deterministic optical signal management across the extended C-band and L-band spectrum. The unit features internal temperature control for operational stability and supports multiple configurations—C, D, E, and F—enabling single-input routing, simultaneous multi-channel switching, non-blocking any-to-any connectivity, or blocking single-alignment modes based on application requirements.
