1x2 Magnet Solid State Fiber Optic Switch

1x2 Solid State Fiber Optic Switches

 

1x2 Solid State Fiber Optic Switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fiber. This is achieved using patented non-mechanical configurations and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. It is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of continuous operation without failure, longevity, operation under shock/vibration environment and large temperature variations, and fast response time.

Fiber-Online offers most affordable high performance magneto-optical fiber optic switches. The switch also has build-in circulator and isolator functions. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches. Our solid-state fiber optic switches are tested in-house prior to shipment to guarantee that they will arrive in perfect physical and working condition. Currently configurations includes 1x1, 1x2, 2x1 configurations for single mode or multimode fibers are available.

Features 1x2 configurations Unidirectional operation Microsecond switching speed High stability and reliability Ultra high repeatability Low cross talk, low insertion loss Wide wavelength range High extinction ratio High channel isolation Fail-safe latching Epoxy-free on optical path No moving parts Low driving voltage

Applications Metropolitan area network System monitoring Configurable OADM R&D in laboratory Optical signal routing Optical network protection and restoration Transmitter and receiver protection Instrumentation

Electrical Driving Information

The switch is actuated by applying a voltage pulse. Applying one polarity pulse, one light path will be connected and latched to the position. Applying a reversed polarity pulse, another light path will be connected and latched to the position after pulse removed.
