Optical Switches
The Duplex Fiber Optical A/B/C/D Switch with Telnet allows us to connect the “COMMON” port among four other devices connected to the “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” ports. The default configuration is a duplex 1U metal chassis rack. Each channel is a front pluggable module designed for easy repair. Up to 20 channels can be accommodated. It is an all-optical routing supporting Gigabit data rate. Two data channels are activated together by a single command via either a front pushbutton or remote. Front panel LED’s display present position and power status. Remote Control access uses an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection with Telnet commands, reachable through the local EJ45 Ethernet port. It can lockout front panel operations, obtain switch status, as well as query firmware version number, query serial number, and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Duplex Fiber Optical A/B/C/D Switch: Optical signal routing depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1270-1620nm, 850/1310nm, 1310nm, 850nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF28e, MM50/125, MM62.5/125, Special) must match the connected components.
Duplex Fiber Optical A/B/C/D Switch: Automated fiber test depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1270-1620nm, 850/1310nm, 1310nm, 850nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF28e, MM50/125, MM62.5/125, Special) must match the connected components. The 10 ms, 100 ns, 1 ms, 0.1 ms, 50 ms LED dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.

Technical FAQ
Interface: Ethernet, RS232, USB, TTL, PLC, Push Button · Fiber Type: SMF28e, MM50/125, MM62.5/125, 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: 1270-1620nm, 850/1310nm, 1310nm, 850nm. 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.
