  • 1250 nm to 1650 nm operating wavelength range
  • FC/APC connector interfaces - angled, narrow key

The Keysight N773-C family of single-mode fiber-optic switches are an indispensable tool to automate photonic test solutions. Based on optical micro-electro-mechanic systems (MEMS) technology, those switches use tiny mirrors to guide the light to the desired output. MEMS based optical switches offer outstanding durability, repeatability, and fast switching times. Optical switches help avoid uncertainties introduced by fiber movement or by connector wear, and offer higher repeatability than manual re-connecting. 

The new switch generation sports an on-board graphical user interface for easy control without software installation, accessible via GbE LAN and USB 2.0 connections. It comes in two topologies covering typical applications requiring 1x4 or 1x16 or 2x2 configurations.

The N7736C offers four independent 2x2 switches, ideal to bypass the device under test with a reference path, or to reverse the signal direction in stimulus (source) - response (detector) setups.
