LightBend™ Full 2x2 MM Optical Switch

SKU: LBSW

The LB Series Full 2×2 multimode OptoMechanical Fiberoptic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected 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. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors. This novel 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.
