1×8 Mechanical Optical Switch

The Series 1×8 fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting an in- coming optical signal into a selected output fiber. This is achieved by using a patent pending op to-mechanical configuration 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, and the new material based advanced design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches.
