This unit
The EXFO IQ-206 is an optical test system expansion unit that extends the IQ-200 series platform with six modular slots for EXFO IQ test modules. It scales laboratory and manufacturing test capabilities by supporting up to four linked expansion units for a total of 24 module slots. Control is achieved via IQ-203 Control Unit with SCSI connection or direct PC control using an IQ-206 PC Expansion Card (ISA or PCI) with Windows-compatible IQ-200 Software.
Technical Specifications
