DiCon’s Multi-Channel Optical Switch Plug-In offers accurate
connection of one or two input fiber channels to a maximum of 16
output fiber channels. The Plug-In is designed for easy
installation into DiCon’s GP700M Modular Mainframe. DiCon’s
Multi-Channel Optical Switch Plug-In can be built with Corning
SMF-28, Flexcor 1060 or Polarization Maintaining Panda fiber.
Features
Very low insertion loss
Low back-reflection
Precise repeatability
Flexible fiber types and wavelength ranges
Applications
Simplex 1xN switches have one input aligned to one of N outputs.
The components switch in one-channel increments. Duplex 1xN
switches have two inputs aligned to two outputs. They switch in
two-channel increments. Blocking 2xN switches have two inputs
aligned with only one output. The components switch in half-channel
increments. Non-blocking 2xN switches have two inputs aligned with
two outputs. They switch in one-channel increments.
