MEMS Dual 1xN Fiber Optical Switches – 2D

SKU: MSWH

The MEMS Dual 1xN Fiber Optical Switch is based on a reflecting silicon mirror that directs light from an input fiber to the requested output fiber among the N output fibers. The light path length difference between each state is small. The switch is bidirectional and can be used as Dual Nx1. It comes mounted on a PCB with control electronics powered by 5-12VDC. The standard control interface is TTL. USB or RS232 with GUI is achieved through an optional adapting board that comes with a wall pluggable power supply and a computer interface cable. The two switches can be activated simultaneously or independently.

This MEMS platform offers the advantages of low cost and compact size. The on/off ratio, channel isolation, optical power handling, and response speed are less than our digital silicon mirrors-based switches.
