The MEMS Nx1 Fiber Optical Switches are designed to handle multiple laser inputs with optical power up to 0.5 W per channel—levels that would damage conventional 1×N switches. Each channel incorporates a dedicated bypass switch, enabling passive establishment of optical signal paths within milliseconds while supporting all data rates. The architecture delivers industry-leading performance, repeatability, and long-term reliability for continuous operation. Intended for automated test environments, the flexible rack-mount platform supports a wide range of optical modules, including variable optical attenuators, power monitors, and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) measurement modules, making it well suited for testing passive components, transponders, and line cards. Control interfaces include local RS-232, USB, and GPIB with GUI support, as well as a remote Ethernet-based GUI compatible with standard network management protocols. The 1U front panel accommodates approximately 40 LC connectors (36×1 configuration), with enclosure height dependent on connector type and port count. A comprehensive command set is provided for software integration; custom code debugging is not included, though an optional Application Programming Interface (API) service is available to simplify integration into remote manufacturing systems. For minimum command-to-switch latency, a dedicated real-time computer — such as a single-board system running real-time Linux — is recommended.
Due to inherent computer delays under Windows, response speed can be improved by using a Linux-based controller or executing stored switching sequences directly on the board. In this mode, the host computer simply issues start, pause, and repeat commands.
