WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL
This product is not specically designed for use in hazardous environments, for example in explosive
atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user
ensures suitable protective measures are taken.
!
WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL
This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all
supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.
CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL
Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.
Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or
sub-assemblies containing these devices:
1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a
wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.
2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and
isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.
3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.
4. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) tted with these devices must be stored and transported in
anti-static bags.
CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL
Suitably qualied & trained users should ensure that the accompanying documentation is fully read
and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.
!
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY SYMBOL
This product is specically designed to switch optical signals. Under no circumstances look into the
end of an optical output or an optical cable attached to an optical output. LASER RADIATION CAN
SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR EYESIGHT.
Read and understand the safety information of the laser source connected to the optical switch.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O
signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).
• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or
the combined weight of the modules & chassis.
• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the
chassis and the user I/O signals.
• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.
• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on
the front of the unit.
WARNING - RACK MOUNTING
If it is required to t this unit into a 19 inch rack, its weight must be
supported by side brackets, runners or a suitable equipment shelf.
The xing holes in the front panel anges are designed only for
securing the device in the rack and must NOT be used to support
the weight of the whole device.
Please refer to Appendix A for the procedure for tting the
supplied anges to either side of the front panel.
!
HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY WARNING
THIS UNIT IS CAPABLE OF SWITCHING VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS THAT CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES. IN APPLICATIONS INVOLVING HIGH VOLTAGES IT
IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT UNUSED CONNECTORS ARE CAPPED
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WHILE IN USE. SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
AND USERS SHOULD CONNECT TO THE FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS WITH
CONNECTORS OR CABLE ASSEMBLIES THAT ENSURE OPERATORS WILL NOT
INADVERTENTLY COME IN CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGES.

The 65-280-422 is a dual 5x5 fiber optic matrix plugin module
designed to be fitted into a 65-200 LXI Scalable Chassis. It
uses multi-mode (62.5/125 µm) fiber and the optical interface
is via front panel mounted LC high density connectors.
The matrix uses MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems)
based optical switches to route signals between terminals
by redirecting the optical signal. This is achieved using
micromechanical mirrors driven by a highly precise
mechanism activated via an electrical control signal.
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) technology offers
many advantages over traditional Optical Prism Technology
but with lower price, higher packing density, faster operate
time and much longer operating life.
65-280-422 Dual 5x5 MEMS Optical Matrix Plugin Module
Pickering can construct custom optical systems to customers
precise requirements. We have a large range of electrical
switching modules which can form a complete PXI/PXIe or LXI
based telecom switching solution.
Applications for these switches can be found in fiber network
configuration, fiber optic component test or where optical
signal routing is required.
Configuring the Matrix
To select the parts that you need to create a matrix simply:
• Specify a 65-200-002 LXI Scalable Chassis.
• Add matrix Plugin Modules as required for your
application.
