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.
• Modules are not accessed to EN 60825, users should observe the safety instructions and laser
class for the 3rd party laser source.
• The module may be capable of switching optical signals from a laser device; do not stare directly
at the user I/O ports.
• 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 60-850 and 60-851 are LXI conformant ber optic multiplexers that use MEMS
switching technology to ensure fast and reliable switching of single-mode (60-850)
or multi-mode (60-851) optical signals being carried on ber connections. The
60-850/851 is available with a variety of connector options and in a variety of
multiplexer arrangements.
Multiplexer congurations offered are single 8 channel, dual 8 channel, single
16 channel and single 32 channel. Each conguration can be supplied with FC/APC,
SC/PC, LC or SC connector types – allowing users to select exactly the model that ts
their connection standard. A dual 4 channel version is also available, supporting only
multi-mode ber and with LC connectors. Multiplexer versions are also available with
a Loop-Thru connection allowing easy expansion.
All congurations use a MEMS based mirror system that ensures fast switching, long
operating life and repeatable insertion loss and isolation characteristics.
MUX Control
The 60-850/851 is fully LXI conformant
through a 1000Base-T Ethernet
connection and is supplied with IVI
drivers and Direct I/O drivers to allow
programmatic control of the optical
switches. A built in soft front panel
can be accessed through any web
browser to provide manual control of
the multiplexers in a simple and intuitive
way. Controlling the 60-850/851 at long
distances could not be simpler, and
control can even be gained using links
including wireless access points for true
control mobility.
