Product Overview
PM (Polarization-maintaining) 1X12 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch 1550nm 0.9MM 0.5M PM Fiber FC/APC 158x150x29nm Module
FW-MSX-1X12-15-PM-09-05-FC/APC-M3
MEMS 1xN optical switch is based on micro-electro-mechanical system technology. It allows channel selection between an input fiber and up to N output fibers by rotating the MEMS mirror.
The switch is bi-directional and can also be used as a Nx1 selector switch. The optical switch offers highly reliable, durable, long-life operation in a compact package.
Applications
- Optical network routing
- Resource sharing in test & measurement applications
- Optical network protection and restoration
