The Profile Pro8000 is a modular 19” rackmount mainframe chassis that delivers flexible laser diode control and optical switching for telecommunications and research laboratory applications. Available in three configurations—the 8-slot PRO8000 (16 A maximum output), the higher-current 8-slot PRO8000-4 (32 A maximum output), and the benchtop 2-slot PRO800—the system accommodates plug-in electrical and optical modules with automatic identification and adaptive front-panel control.
