F2x2 Mechanical Fiber Optic Switch
The F2x2 Mechanical Fiber Optic Switch is a reliable and high-performance solution for optical path switching. Its operation is independent of signal polarization and wavelength, supporting the full spectrum from 850nm to 1650nm. Engineered for critical network applications, it excels with low insertion loss (as low as 0.6dB typical for SM), high isolation (≥70dB), and a fast switching speed of ≤8ms. The switch offers exceptional durability with a lifetime of over 10 million cycles and stable performance across a wide temperature range. Available in both latching and non-latching versions with 3V or 5V power options, it is ideally suited for optical network protection, signal routing, testing systems, and OADM configurations.
