Optical Switches
MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch 1310-1650 nm — 2D
The MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch employs a gold-coated reflecting silicon mirror to direct light from the input fiber to the selected output fiber with minimal path length difference between states. Its design uses bending single-crystal arms that do not fatigue or wear out, ensuring exceptional reliability and long operational life. The electrostatic actuator consumes little energy. The switch supports bidirectional operation and is available in single-mode, polarization-maintaining, and multimode fiber types. For Nx1 use, the total combined input power must remain within the specified maximum rating. Configurations include bare device, standalone module with TTL driver, or a plug-and-play PCB-mounted module featuring USB or RS-232 interfaces, GUI control software, a 5 VDC wall-pluggable supply, and computer interface cable.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch 1310-1650 nm — 2D to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SM28, 50/125, Hi1060, PM1550, 62.5/125, 105/125, SM600, SM1950, SM800, 780HP, PM850, PM980, PM1310 · Fiber Cover: 900um tube, 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: 1280-1650nm, 1550nm, 1310nm, 1310/1550nm, 850nm, 760-1360nm, 1060nm, 980nm, 780nm, 1950nm, 895nm
- 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
- Package/Driver: UART, USB/TTL, RS232/TTL, Bare
- 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.
