The Keysight (Agilent) 86060C is a compact lightwave switch designed for versatile optical signal routing in both benchtop and automated test environments. Supporting both single-mode and multi-mode fiber configurations, the switch operates bi-directionally with 1 or 2 inputs and 4 to 8 outputs. Built around a precision stepper motor with internal temperature stabilization, the 86060C delivers high repeatability and a minimum lifespan of 10 million cycles, making it ideal for integration with optical attenuators, multimeters, and OTDRs.
