LightBend™ 4x4 Optical Switch

SKU: LBSW, LBPM, LBHP, LBPH

The LB Series 4×4 fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting any of four incoming optical signals into any of four output fibers. This is achieved using our patent pending opto-mechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. Our new material-based advanced design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. An electronic driver is available for this series of switches. The switch is bidirectional.

We offer a tight-bend-fiber version, which reduces the minimum bending radius from the normal 15 mm to 7 mm. This feature enables a smaller overall footprint.
