Fiber Optic Communication Data Links
MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch, Pluggable
The MEMS FIBER Optical switches establish optical signal paths passively in milliseconds, supporting all data rates, and are ideally suited to manage and monitor large optical networks intelligently and remotely. The MEMS switches are reliable and have longevity suited for continuous operation. The module is designed to be housed within a management rack that can be purchased separately. The control is a net-based GUI that is compatible with standard network management protocols. The size depends on connector choice and fiber port count. A 1U management rack box front panel can house approximately 40 LC connectors (1×36). The order table includes a list of standard control interfaces. Additionally, we provide a list of commands to assist customer engineers in coding. For those who require it, we offer a code-writing service for customer interfaces at an additional charge.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch, Pluggable to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Control Interface: Ethernet · Fiber Type: SMF-28, MM 50/125
- 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: 1240-1640nm, 1310, 1410, 1550, 1310/1550, 1060, 850
- Check the Fiber Optic Communication Data Links 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.
