3 Introducing the Switch 1000/1100/1400 Series – Optical switch
Switch 1000/1100/1400 PXIe modules overview & features
The Switch 1000/1100/1400 Series product 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 flexible
connectivity and high channel density form-factor.
All Crossover and Duplex Switch modules DO NOT HAVE A PARK STATE. When plugging optical
fibres into the ports or inspecting fibres, ensure that the optical source is OFF to prevent user
injury.
