Optical Switches

High Speed NxM Fiber Optical Switch System 10ns

The NS NxM fiber optic switch utilizes a patented electro-optical design, providing low optical loss, wide temperature operation, and polarization insensitivity. It boasts ultra-high reliability, capable of continuous operation for over 25 years in vibration-prone environments (Telcordia and space-qualified). This bidirectional switch is available in polarization-independent and polarization-maintaining configurations. The rise and fall times are intrinsically linked to the crystal properties, while the repetition rate depends on the driver. The NS Series switch is mounted on an electronic driver within a network-ready rack enclosure with 100-240 ACV input at the back. It responds to control signals with arbitrary timing frequencies from DC up to MHz.
