Duplex Fiber Optical A/B/C/D Switch
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.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Duplex Fiber Optical A/B/C/D Switch to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- 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 and loss budget
- 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.
