LightBend™ Straight Octo 2x2 Bypass MM Optical Switch

SKU: LOBM

The LB Series Octo 2×2 Bypass Multimode Fiberoptic switch integrates 4 dual 2×2 bypass switches in a single compact format. It is designed for 40G/100G transceiver bypass applications. The device connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is achieved using a patented opto-mechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors. This novel design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. The switch is bidirectional.

We offer a tight-bend-fiber version, which reduces the minimum bending radius. This feature enables a smaller overall footprint.
