Fiber Optic Communication Data Links
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.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Fiber Optical Switch: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1240-1640nm, 1310, 1410, 1550, 1310/1550, 1060, 850 wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, MM 50/125) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
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: 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.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
