JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP 1x14 Multimode Fiber Optic Switch with FC/HPC Front Bulkheads

JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP 1x14 Multimode Fiber Optic Switch with FC/HPC Front Bulkheads

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP is an SB Series multimode fiber optic switch designed for controlled optical signal routing in laboratory, production, research, and automated optical test systems. Its 1x14 configuration connects one optical input to one of 14 selectable output channels, allowing a common optical source or signal path to serve multiple devices, detectors, receivers, instruments, or test fixtures.

This configuration uses 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber and supports wavelengths from 850 nm to 1350 nm. The optical input and all 14 outputs use FC/HPC bulkheads located on the front panel. The switch also incorporates the standard SB Series return-loss configuration identified by code X.

The 1x14 architecture is useful when one multimode optical signal must be routed sequentially among several test paths. Controlled channel selection can reduce repeated patch-cord changes, limit unnecessary handling of optical interfaces, and improve consistency during component characterization, production screening, system verification, and multi-channel measurement procedures.

Features and Benefits of the JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP provides practical optical path selection for engineers, laboratories, production facilities, and service organizations working with multimode fiber optic systems.

• Reduced manual patching: Helps minimize repeated reconnection of sources, detectors, receivers, and devices under test.

1x14 Multimode Optical Routing

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP connects its single optical input to one selected output channel at a time. The remaining output channels are excluded from the active optical path until selected by the switch control system.

This arrangement is useful when one multimode optical source must serve several devices under test. It can also support systems where numerous optical paths must be connected sequentially to a common detector, receiver, optical power meter, or other measurement instrument.

A 1x14 switch provides substantial routing capacity for automated test stations and production systems. Dedicated connections can remain installed between the switch outputs and the associated devices, fixtures, reference paths, or measurement channels while the required path is selected for each procedure.

Controlled optical switching can improve test efficiency by reducing manual fiber changes. It can also help maintain consistent optical connections and reduce connector wear or contamination caused by repeated handling.

62.5/125 µm Multimode Fiber Configuration

The fiber code in the JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP identifies 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber. The switch should be used with compatible multimode sources, patch cords, detectors, receivers, and other optical system components.

Multimode measurements can be affected by source launch conditions, modal distribution, fiber length, connector alignment, patch-cord construction, and fiber bending. Consistent launch conditions and matching fiber types are important when comparing optical performance among the 14 output channels.

This unit should not be described as a 9/125 µm single-mode switch. The fiber code 2 identifies the installed optical configuration as 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber.

850 nm to 1350 nm Wavelength Range

The wavelength code Q identifies a supported wavelength range from 850 nm to 1350 nm for compatible multimode configurations. This range supports optical routing applications involving suitable multimode sources, detectors, sensors, components, and test equipment.

The optical source, detector, fiber, patch cords, and connectors should all support the intended wavelength. Compatibility should be verified across the complete optical path before the switch is integrated into a measurement or production system.

Overall system performance also depends on source launch conditions, fiber modal distribution, patch-cord quality, connector cleanliness, detector area, and the condition of the internal switch paths.

Front-Panel FC/HPC Bulkheads

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP uses front-panel bulkheads for the optical input and all 14 outputs. This arrangement provides direct access to every optical channel without requiring rear-panel fiber routing or permanently attached pigtails.

The FC/HPC configuration uses straight-contact FC interfaces. Compatible FC/PC or FC/HPC multimode patch cords should be selected according to the connector polish, fiber size, and keying requirements of the complete optical system.

FC/HPC connectors should not be mated directly with FC/APC connectors. Straight-contact and angled-contact connectors use different ferrule end-face geometries, and direct mating can damage the interfaces or degrade optical performance.

System Integration

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP is intended for integration into a professional multimode optical test or routing system. Channel selection may be coordinated with optical sources, power meters, receivers, detectors, attenuators, fixtures, and automated production equipment.

One optical source can serve as many as 14 connected test paths through the switch. A compatible control system selects the required output before initiating a measurement on the connected component or optical path.

The required electrical control interface, command set, external cables, power requirements, and software should be confirmed for the individual switch. These electrical and control details cannot be determined solely from the optical configuration portion of the model number.

Installation and Fiber Management

The front-panel port arrangement should be considered when planning rack installation and cable routing. Sufficient access and clearance should be provided for the input patch cord and all 14 output patch cords.

Each output should be labeled clearly within the surrounding system. Consistent channel labeling helps prevent routing errors and simplifies test development, troubleshooting, maintenance, and component replacement.

All connected fibers should be routed with appropriate bend-radius control and strain relief. Excessive bending, pulling, or lateral force at the front-panel bulkheads can affect optical performance or damage the patch cords and switch interfaces.

Comprehensive Functional and Performance Testing

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP receives comprehensive functional and performance testing before shipment. Testing may include verification of the optical input, all 14 output channels, channel-selection operation, optical continuity, connector condition, channel repeatability, and available optical performance.

When technically applicable and supported, optical characterization may include insertion-loss and return-loss measurements. The exact test scope and supplied documentation depend on the individual switch and selected service.

Testing the complete 1x14 configuration helps identify inactive channels, intermittent switching, abnormal path loss, damaged connectors, and other conditions that could affect operation in a laboratory or production environment.

Buyers requiring specific optical test data, formal documentation, or individual channel results should confirm those requirements before purchase.

Buyer Considerations

The JDSU SB1C10141+22XQ000FP is a configuration-specific multimode fiber optic switch. Buyers should confirm that the 1x14 architecture, 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber, 850 nm to 1350 nm wavelength range, FC/HPC connectors, standard return-loss configuration, and front-panel bulkheads match the intended optical system.

This unit should not be confused with a similarly numbered 9/125 µm single-mode configuration or with a multimode model using wavelength code B. The fiber code 2 and wavelength code Q identify the SB1C10141+22XQ000FP as a 62.5/125 µm multimode switch for the 850 nm to 1350 nm range.

Buyers should review the condition of the input and all 14 output interfaces, channel-selection operation, control connections, enclosure, included cables, and available test results before purchase.
