LightBend™ 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 MM Optical Switch

SKU: LBSW

The LB 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 Bypass Multimode Fiberoptic switch is a highly integrated single device. Based on Agiltron’s pending patent, the switch is designed especially for protection and restoration applications. The switch is activated by a 5V pulse between two states, and latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical contact-based position sensors. The proprietary simple design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as unmatched low cost. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches. The switch is bidirectional.

We offer a tight-bend-fiber version, which reduces the minimum bending radius from the normal 15 mm to 7 mm. This feature enables a smaller overall foot print.
