Optical Switches
2×4, 4×4 High Speed Fiber Optical Switch System: 100ns, 18dB On/Off
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.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect 2×4, 4×4 High Speed Fiber Optical Switch System: 100ns, 18dB On/Off 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: 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 and loss budget
- 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.
