SCG series
• Offer up to 45 input channels and 90 output channels
• Mass input reconfiguration possible
• Low IL, 0.5 dB typical for D configuration
• High RL > 65 dB typical
• Excellent repeatability, +/- 0.005 dB typical
• Replaces multiple switch elements with one switch instrument
Applications
The JDSU SB, SC, and SCG series of Benchtop/Rackmount Programmable Switches
can be controlled using the front panel keys and a numeric pad or via GPIB and
serial RS-232 interface. The SCG series ganged input switches allow a single
switch instrument to replace multiple switch elements while maintaining low loss.
In this series of switches, the inputs are ganged together in a particular sequence
and are thus able to offer three different modes of operation.
• Fiberoptic component testing and
measurement
• System testing
• Research and development (R&D)
• Mass reconfiguration of large numbers
of inputs/outputs with SCG series
(D configuration)
The SB, SC, and SCG series switches are available in four basic configurations:
• C configuration - is a single common input model (SB, SC)
• Connection of multiple wavelength
sources to any one of a number of
devices with SCG series (F configuration)
• Network monitoring
• D configuration - provides simultaneous connection of a bank of input fibers
to output fibers (SB, SC, SCG)
• E configuration - allows any input to be connected to any output while other
inputs/outputs are aligned to subsequent/adjacent channels. The switch is
non-blocking in this mode and other inputs/outputs are aligned (SB, SC, SCG)
• F configuration - enables one of the inputs to be aligned with an output in a
blocking sense, with a result in reduction of available output channels and a
low-loss M x N blocking switch. (SB, SC, SCG)
Safety Information
• Complies to CE requirements plus
UL3101-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.

Operation of these switches is based upon JDSU's proven expanded beam lens
technology, which utilizes a precision stepper-motor to align optical channels.
The use of collimating lenses minimizes insertion loss (IL) and improves
repeatability and performance. Internal temperature control of the switching
mechanism ensures excellent operational stability.
