Optical Switches

Multicast 1x2 Fiber Optical Switch

The NSMC series is a fiber optic multicast switch that redirects an incoming optical signal to two output ports with three selectable light intensity states: 100%, 0%, and 50%. This precise optical splitting is achieved using a patented electro-optical crystal design, with no organic materials in the light path, ensuring maximum stability and longevity. Designed for ultra-high reliability, fast response, and continuous operation, the switch is intrinsically bidirectional and can be configured as polarization-independent or polarization-maintaining, depending on the fiber type. The NSMC switch is delivered mounted on a custom-tuned electronic driver PCB, which accepts 5V TTL control signals and a 12V DC power input. Performance is optimized for a range of repetition rates.
