HP 86060B Lightwave Switch

Product Summary

The HP 86060B compact switch is a portable switch designed to conserve benchtop space or occupy only one half of a shelf when integrated into automated systems. This switch is ideal for small scale switching in systems combining optical attenuators, lightwave multimeters, and optical spectrum analyzers. It is available for both single-mode and multimode applications.

Product Features

• High performance temperature stabilized specials available

• Multilayer software for controlling multiple switch configurations

• Visual signal path display with easy-to-use manual interface

• HP-IB or RS-232 control

Product Specifications

Specifications describe the instrument's warranted performance over the +5oC to +40oC temperature range,
with RH from 0 to 80%, except where noted.  Characteristics provide information about non-warranted
instrument performance in the form of nominal values.  Characteristics are at room temperature.

[1] Standard switches are available with 1, 2, or 3 inputs and 4, 8, 12 ... 96 or 100 outputs.
Larger numbers of inputs and outputs are available through special orders by cascading individual switch modules
- please contact your local HP representative for pricing and availability.    	
[2] High performance specials are available with 1, 2, or 3 inputs and 4, 8, 12 ... 96 or 100 outputs.
Note: Special order switches are also available with custom configurations and ultra-high specifications
- please contact your local HP representative for further details.  		
[3] Insertion loss does not include connectors.  Include an additional 0.25 dB (characteristic) for each connector. 
[4] Specification valid for operating temperatures of 23 ± 5oC.
[5] Drift of any channel relative to one assigned reference channel during 7 day temperature cycling of ± 3oC
from ambient air temperature. 		 	 	 	
[6] Repeatability measured after four hours warmup and with an eight second pause between movements.
[7] Excludes external pigtail backscatter and connector reflections.
[8] Polarization Dependent Loss only applies to single-mode switches and is measured at 1550nm.
