Pickering Interfaces Test and Measurement PXI LXI PCI VXI IEEE-488 Instruments and Switching

Pickering Interfaces have the World's largest range of LXI, PXI (CompactPCI compatible), IEEE-488 and VXI Optical Switching Cards. Our range includes 1x2, 2x2, 1x4 and 1x8 configurations. Switch modules are available with a wide choice of connectors including FC/APC, FC/PC, SC/PC, MU (Mini SI) and LC.

We can offer a choice of either MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) or more traditional Prism based switches.

Pickering Interfaces Optical PXI cards will plug into any PXI chassis or Pickering Interfaces LXI Modular Chassis 60-102 and 60-103. In addition dedicated LXI optical solutions are available to suit larger scale applications.

LXI Optical Switches

Ethernet control of optical switches is an ideal solution for larger optical switch applications. The 60-850 offers a single or dual 8:1 multiplexer or a 16:1 multiplexer for Single Mode fiber while the 60-851 offers the same configurations for Multi Mode Fiber.
Contained within a 1U rack height both solutions are easily rack mounted.

PXI Optical Switches

Wide range of PXI modules suited for mounting in any PXI chassis or in Pickering Interfaces Modular LXI chassis. Configurations are available up to 8:1 multiplexers and there is a range of bypass switches.
