Reconfigurable
VOA & Power Meter Switch Tray
The Polatis VST family of products offers an ideal integration
of optical switching, attenuation and power monitoring in a
single, compact package. This class of switch is unique to
Polatis and delivers significant cost savings for a highly
versatile tool with a single, easy-to-use interface.
The Reconfigurable option provides user-definable input
and output ports, providing unprecedented flexibility for
applications with changing needs. Users can create any
matrix up to the total fiber count, such that a 16x16 could
be reconfigured to a 1x31.
The unique VOA function permits easy control of preset
maximum power levels to protect sensitive downstream
equipment.
DirectLight® Technology
All Polatis products are based on the patented DirectLight
beam-steering technology, setting the benchmark for reliable,
high performance switching.
Ideal for test environments, the VST provides physical-layer
connectivity for sharing of high value equipment and
automation of test sequences in design verification for
manufacturing systems. Its instrument-grade performance
ensures the maximum signal fidelity, with ultra-high stability
and repeatability. VST integrated power meters permit rapid
trouble-shooting across the entire test set without patching
in separate meters.
Polatis also offers Fixed port and Multimode optical switch
systems, as well as a range of optical switch modules and
standard backplane optical cards.
