Description

Product Overview

An optical switch is an optical path control component that functions to control and switch optical paths. It plays a crucial role in optical communication applications. Optical switches are mainly used in:
  • Multi-channel optical monitoring in optical transmission systems, automatic switching of multi-light sources/detectors in LANs, and multi-point dynamic monitoring systems for optical sensors;
  • Testing of optical fibers, optical components, networks, and field engineering optical cables in optical testing systems;
  • Assembly and adjustment of optical components.
A 1×8 optical switch can route one input path to one of the 8 output paths.

Product Features

  • Low insertion loss and fast switching speed.
  • Equipped with an LCD display for intuitive data presentation, facilitating user operation.
  • Automatic scanning can be set, with a maximum switching interval of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds; the “start channel” and “end channel” for scanning can also be configured.
  • A “device address” can be set, allowing users to control multiple optical switch instruments with a single serial port when serial port resources are limited.
  • The serial port communication baud rate can be adjusted according to actual needs, with 7 optional baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200.

Program-Controlled Commands

(1) The instrument executes only one command at a time. Wait for the program to return a response before entering the next command.

(2) Use uppercase letters for commands.

(3) In actual operation, use “<” as the start character and “>” as the end character.
