Optical Switches
Ultra-Low Latency Multicast Switch Multi-Port Output
Our optical routers achieve ultra-low latency, which has not been attainable by electronic routers. The 1U system multicast incoming optical signals and dynamically re-directs them into multiple output ports with built-in optical MEMS switches and amplifiers. These switches are controlled via Ethernet-GUI or RS232-GUI. The fiber output ports are located in the front panel.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Ultra-Low Latency Multicast Switch Multi-Port Output to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Connector: FC/PC, FC/APC, SC/PC, SC/APC, ST/PC, LC, Duplex LC, Special · Interface Code: Non, Python, LabVIEW
- 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: 1310, 1550, Special
- 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.
- Control interface
- Control: RS232, USB, Ethernet · Power Supply: 12V DC, 48V DC, 110~220V AC, Special
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
