Chapter 4: General Information
The MAP-200 mOSW Optical Switch is based on Viavi expanded beam and
alignment technologies and exhibits low insertion loss (IL) and high return loss (RL).
It is available in single-switch configurations from 1x2 up to 1x64 and dual
independent switch configurations from 1x2 up to 1x24 and 8 by 1x2.
An important element of an optical test bed, optical switches increase throughput by
enabling time-saving automation, reduce uncertainty from repeated connector mating
and maximizes the use of expensive testers.
