Operation of these switches is based upon JDS Uniphase's proven expanded beam lens technology, which utilizes a precision stepper-motor to align optical channels. The use of collimating lenses minimizes insertion loss and improves repeatability and performance. Internal temperature control of the switching mechanism ensures excellent operational stability.
