These modules can be custom configured as Group Switches to handle large number of signals per switched crosspoint.
GX SERIES CHASSIS The GX Series Chassis are built as either single chassis Mainframes or as Expansion Chassis controlled by one GX Series Control Unit. For larger systems having more than 16 groups, the MESA Control Unit is used to control several GX/16 Control Units. GX MAINFRAMES GX CONTROL UNITS These single chassis Mainframes are built with their own dedicated power supplies, a Control Module, and have front panel status LEDs.

Multimode 62.5/125 um switches are available for 850 and 1310 nm wavelengths, while singlemode 9/125 um switches handle 1310 and 1550 nm.
FO SERIES MUL TIPLEXERS MULTIPLEXERS Bidirectional Nx1 Multiplexers are assembled from standard FO Chassis by interconnecting Fiberoptic Switch Modules as shown schematically below. The interconnects are fiberoptic cables and are usually wired internally. The FO/16 Chassis can be configured as four 1x4s or two 1x8s, while the FO/32 is available as eight 1x4s or four 1x8s.

They are used to build large matrix or multiplexer configurations or simply run different types of expansion chassis.
MESA CONTROL UNITS There are three basic models of the MESA Control Unit: the MESA 16, the MESA 32 and the MESA II. Each contain power supplies and an expansion motherboard. The Control Module and Expansion Interface Modules plug into the motherboard so that one Control Module can control up to 32 Expansion Chassis. The system shown in Fig. 1 has a MESA 16 Control Unit and four Expansion Chassis arranged and addressed as a 32x16 Matrix.
CM-5 IEEE488/RS232 IF-6 LAN INTERF ACE INTERFA This Module installs with the MESA 16 & 32 and combines both IEEE488 Talk Listen and RS232 Serial Controls. The LAN Interface accepts TCP/IP packets from a 10BaseT Ethernet Network, converts the data into RS232 format, and then transmits it to the RS232 port located on the standard CM-5 Control Module installed in the MESA. Data is also transmitted in the reverse direction; that is, RS232 data from the MESA is converted and sent over the Ethernet LAN.
MESA II CYTEC MESA II Series Controllers allow the control of up to 16 separate expansion chassis from a single point of control. That is, the MESA II holds the overall system’s single Control Module, and it directly controls multiple expansion chassis. The MESA II can be used to build large Matrix or Multiplexer configurations requiring multiple expansion chassis, or it can simply run several different expansion chassis.

A guide to communicating with programmable switches CYTEC Switching Systems are available with a variety of communication interfaces. Which one is right for your application is dependent on what you are trying to accomplish. This bulletin lists the options and reasons for choosing them. Since switching systems are often used in conjunction with other, more complicated devices your choice may be dictated by those needs and all you need to know is that we support that option.
GPIB? TTL? RS232? Ethernet? USB? Which should I choose? We always feel the best choice is to use what you know. If you are set-up for GPIB and already are familiar with the interface it's the logical choice. If you're starting from scratch and haven't written software yet you should base the decision on the requirements. The guide below provides answers to commonly asked questions: Requirement Speed Usually a requirement of automated test apps. GPIB, TTL or possibly Ethernet.
