MEMS High Crosstalk Multimode Fiber Switch

SKU: MEMH, MEMS

The MEMS High Crosstalk Multimode Fiber Optical Switch offers unique performance attributes with exceptionally high crosstalk of up to 70dB, high stability over a wide temperature range, a compact size, long operation life, insensitivity to moisture and ESD, high optical power, no short- and long-term drifts, and high reliability for over 25 years of continuous operation. It uses a patented thermal activated MEMS-mirror, moving in and out of optical paths at a 45-degree angle to direct incoming light into a selected output fiber without hitting other ports, eliminating the degradation of the multi-fiber collimator due to laser steering over a long period.

The switches are Telcordia GR1221 qualified. The switch is conveniently controlled by directly applying a voltage to each mirror actuator.
