Introducing the SwitchPXIe 

–

 Optical Switch Module 

The SwitchPXIe is an efficient solution for test procedure automation designed to be used on 

the National Instruments PXIe platform. The MEMS based optical switch ensures repeatable 

and low-loss switching to various test set-ups while taking advantage of the PXIe 

mainframe’s flexible connectivity and high channel density form

-factor.
