MEMS NxM Fiber Optical Switches – 2D

SKU: MSWM

The MEMS NxN 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. It is available in single mode, polarization maintaining, and multi-mode. NXM is produced by cascading multiple 1xN in a compact format. The matrix switch is truly independent, with little hit interferences during the switching. N and M are available up to 160 with any number of combinations. It comes mounted on a PCB with control electronics powered by 5-12VDC. TTL control interface is standard. 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.
