SKU: NSMS
The NSMC series is a 2×2 fiber optic multicast switch that redirects an incoming optical signal to two output ports with three selectable light intensity states: 100%, 0%, and 50%. This precise optical splitting is achieved using a patented electro-optical crystal design, with no organic materials in the light path, ensuring maximum stability and longevity. Designed for ultra-high reliability, fast response, and continuous operation, the switch is intrinsically bidirectional and can be configured as polarization-independent or polarization-maintaining, depending on the fiber type. The NSMC switch is delivered mounted on a custom-tuned electronic driver PCB, which accepts 5V TTL control signals and a 12V DC power input. Performance is optimized for a range of repetition rates. The rise/fall time is determined by the crystal properties, while the frequency response is influenced by the driver design. Some narrow frequency bands may exhibit poor response due to device resonances. The switch operates over a broad control frequency range, from DC to several MHz, with power consumption dependent on switching repetition rate. All NS series switches are qualified for telecom and space applications.
⚠️ Note: Components purchased without drivers cannot be returned for driver mounting, as the handling cost is comparable to purchasing a new unit with the driver included.
