2.2. Power Options
For power, a compact two-way power supply unit (TPS002) is available from Thorlabs allowing up to 2 K-Cube
Liquid Crystal Controllers to be powered from a single outlet. This power supply unit is also designed to take up
minimal space and can be mounted to the optical table in close proximity to the driver units, connected via short
power leads.
As a further level of convenience when using the K-Cube Controllers, Thorlabs also offers 3-channel and 6-
channel K-Cube Controller Hubs (KCH301 and KCH601). These products have been designed specifically with
multiple K-Cube operation in mind
in order to simplify issues such as cable management, power supply routing,
multiple USB device communications, and different optical table mounting scenarios.
The K-Cube Controller Hub comprises a slim base-plate type carrier with electrical connections located on the
upper surface to accept the K-Cubes.
Internally the Controller Hub contains a fully compliant USB 2.0 hub circuit to provide communications for all K-
Cubes
– a single USB connection to the Controller Hub is all that is required for PC control. The Controller Hub
also provides power distribution for the K-Cubes, requiring only a single power connection.
2.3. PC Software Overview
