Optical Switch Quad (4) 2x2 Bypass – Fiber-Fiber™

SKU: FFSW

This series fiber optical switch is well suited to be integrated with transceivers for network protection. It is uniquely integrated with 8 2×2 bypass switches in a compact format that is activated by a single relay, offering high reliability and low cost.
The FF Series fiber optic switch connects optical channels by direct fiber-to-fiber connection via a proprietary MEMS platform using a ribbon fiber array and activated via an electromagnet relay. The advanced design significantly increases the performance, offering unprecedented low optical loss, little wavelength dependence with no coatings, high speed, vibration insensitivity, high reliability, as well as low cost. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the electrical power has been removed. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 4.5V.
Using no lens, the FF Series switch can accommodate all types of fibers, including SM. MM, PM, double cladding, bendable, large core, small core. The FF switches provide performance for special fiber no other technology can match.
