Optical Switches
Ultra-Broadband/Low-Loss 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch Kit, USB/Push Button
The FFSM Series fiber optic switch module is designed for ease of use and exceptional optical performance, offering ultra-broadband wavelength transmission limited only by the fiber itself and near-lossless operation. It is available with single-mode, multimode, polarization-maintaining, double-clad, and specialty fibers, and supports fully bidirectional light propagation. The module integrates multiple control options, including manual push-button control, TTL, and USB operation via a user-friendly Windows™ GUI. It features a mini-USB connector and a 5-pin control connector and can be powered either through the USB port or an included 5 V wall-plug power supply (100–240 VAC). The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after power is removed. Command codes are provided for customer customization, and optional code-development services are available.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Ultra-Broadband/Low-Loss 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch Kit, USB/Push Button to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SM28, SM350, SM400, SM450, SM600, SM980, 780HP, Hi1060, SM1950, PM1550, PM1950, PM1310, PM350, PM405, PM460, PM480, PM630, PM780, PM850, PM980, FG50LGA, FG105LCA, STP 50/125, MM 50/125, MM 62.5/125, MM 105/125 · Fiber Cover: 900um tube
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Test Wavelength: 488, 360, 430, 532, 630, 780, 850, 980, 1060, 1310, 1550, 2000, Special · Wavelength Range*: 360 – 530nm / 480 – 650nm / 620 – 650nm / 760 – 980nm / 980 – 1550nm / 960 – 1080nm / 1020 – 1900nm / 1.7 – 2.3 µm
- Check the Optical Switches passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
- Control interface
- Control Interface: GUI, Labview, Metlab, Python, Special
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
