The WSS-11000 wavelength selective switch provides systems designers with a powerful tool to create flexible, wavelength-agile optical networks that can be remotely configured.

Whether used as a 9 x 1 or a 1 x 9, the Xtellus WSS-11000 exhibits the same optical performance for all ports, characterized by wide, flat-top passbands, low insertion loss and PDL, and very high extinction.

The performance of the WSS-11000 is the result of  an optical design that combines  liquid crystal technology and free-space optics to facilitate repeatable manufacturing and assembly processes.
