Cross Connect Optical Switch (mOSX-C1)
Optical Matrix Switch for MAP Series
The MAP Series mOSX-C optical matrix switch is part of the
broader VIAVI test automation switch portfolio. More than just
a switch, the mOSX-C is a low loss, flexible test path manager.
Connecting multiple test paths across the switch fabric enables
parallel test processes and dramatically reduce the cost of test.
Benefits
y Increase capital utilization factors, enabling
on demand, parallel test architectures
y Replace multi-layer switching architectures,
reduces loss and reconfiguration times
y Minimize switching variant
y Drives deeper integration and reduces test
set size
Features
y Non-blocking, bidirectional matrix switch
y Wide wavelength range, to nm
y . dB typical insertion loss
y ms switching speed
y Flexible SCPI remote interface or MAP
Series Graphical User Interface (GUI)
y Connections between ports can be disabled
or re-enabled
Applications
y Test system automation for multi-port
components, modules and line cards
y Manage complex manufacturing test
sequencing
y Can be paired with MAP-Series mOSW
modules to create larger more complex
switching systems
Safety Information
y When installed in a MAP chassis, MAP
optical switches comply with CE, CSA/UL/
IEC, and LXI Class C requirements
the switch on demand. Ports can be allocated as needed
(input or output) and are not trapped with a connection
that cannot be made. All connections may be pre-
configured – without light present - and are in a blocking
state prior to be being activated. Connections can be made
and broken without impact on any other connection.
The mOSX switch adds tremendous test sequence
automation flexibility and reduces switch variant
requirements across the manufacturing line. The same
switch can be used to fill many roles. One switch type
can be used in applications ranging from complex
manufacturing test sequencing a single DUT, test systems
having many independent DUT’s or automation of multi-
port components.
VIAVI Solutions is the world leader
in 1xN optical switches for test and
automation applications. For over 30
years VIAVI switches have been a key
enabler of test automation strategies
to reduce the cost of test. For the first
time, cross connect optical switches
are being offered as part of the MAP
portfolio.
The switch fabric supports a unique
any-port to any-port connection fabric
and enables both symmetric MxM
(for example 8x8), and asymmetric
topologies (4x12 for example). This
flexibility enables users to reconfigure
