Reconfigurable VOA & Power Meter Switch Tray VST 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. 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.
