  • Abstract
    8/spl times/16 delivery and coupling switch boards are developed for the construction of a fully engineered optical path cross-connect system that has 320 Gb/s throughput. The average insertion loss and ON/OFF ratio are 13.8 dB and 43.3 dB, respectively. This paper presents, for the first time, newly developed 8/spl times/16 delivery and coupling switch (DC-SW) boards designed for use in the fully engineered optical path cross-connect system.
