Optical Switches
The NSSB Series high-speed fiber optic switch features ultra-fast switching, exceptionally low optical loss, and high optical power handling in a turnkey rack-mount package with high-speed TTL SMA control inputs. Switching is achieved through a patented electro-optical configuration that delivers clean, ripple-free transitions, ensuring continuous operation for over 25 years with non-mechanical, ultra-high reliability. A non-blocking configuration is constructed using multiple NS 1×2 switches, all managed via five TTL pins for rapid routing among all possible light paths. The NS Series is intrinsically bidirectional and available in either polarization-independent or polarization-maintaining versions. Switching speed is defined by the crystal’s rise/fall time, while the repetition rate depends on the tuned driver, with resonances limiting frequency response in certain bands.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
2×4, 4×4 High Speed Fiber Optical Switch System: 100ns, 18dB On/Off: Optical signal routing depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1060, 2000, 1310, 1550, 1625, 1750, 850 wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, PM980, PM850, PM1310, MM50/125) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, PM980, PM850, PM1310, MM50/125 · Connector: None, FC/APC, Special. 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: 1060, 2000, 1310, 1550, 1625, 1750, 850. 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.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
