2×2 Bypass Optical Switch
Bypass Optic Switches are used in multidrop applications to bypass a node in the event of a power failure or for maintenance. Bypass may also be triggered by an external contact from other monitoring systems.
2×2 Bypass Optic switches
The 2×2 Bypass opto-mechanical fiberoptic switch provides a 2 x 2 optical bypass switch in a single compact package. The device connects optical channels by directing incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is achieved using an opto–mechanical configuration which is activated via an electrical control signal. The switch is bidirectional.
The optical bypass mode is triggered on when the optical switch loses DC power. Alternatively, the bypass mode may be activated from a contact input when DC power is present.
These optical switches are available in single mode and multi-mode and at either 1310nm or 1550nm wavelengths.
Dual 2×2 Bypass Optic Switches
The Dual 2×2 Bypass opto-mechanical fiber optic switch provides 2 simultaneously activated 2 x 2 Bypass switches in a single compact package. The device connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers This is achieved using an opto–mechanical configuration which is activated via an electrical control signal. The switch is bidirectional.
