The JDSU SC Series is a programmable fiberoptic switch. The JDSU SC Series is a 1xN switch that connects a single fiberoptic input channel to any of up to 180 output channels. The JDSU SC Series is available in single-mode and multimode versions.[1][2]

What it is
How it works
The SC Series switch routes optical signals between its input and output fiber ports under electronic control. The switch uses a GPIB or RS232 interface for remote control and can be operated locally from its front-panel keys.[1]
The SC Series has several configuration variants: the single-common (SC-C), dual-common (SC-D), single-step dual-common (SC-E), and dual-common blocking (SC-F) configurations.[1]
Applications
The SC Series is used in fiberoptic component testing and system verification. The switch supports automated test sequences that require switching among multiple optical paths.[1]

Frequently asked questions
What kind of measurements can be performed?General reference — not yet source-verified
Typical measurements include I-V and C-V curves, leakage current, threshold voltage, on-resistance, breakdown voltage, photoresponsivity, spectral response, and optical coupling efficiency. The actual measurement capabilities depend on the external instruments connected to the probe system, such as source measure units (SMUs), lock-in amplifiers, or optical spectrum analyzers.
