1x2 Solid-State SM Fiberoptic Switch (Single Side)

1x2 Solid-State SM Fiberoptic Switch (Single Side)

ACP’s SW Series switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fiber. This is achieved using patent pending non-mechanical proprietary configurations and activated via an electrical control signal. The solid-state operation offers ultra-high reliability and fast switching speed as well as bi-directional performance. The SW fiberoptic switches are true switching solutions for optical networking applications.
