1x2 Mechanical PM Fiberoptic Switch

1x2 Mechanical PM Fiberoptic Switch

ACP’s PMS Series switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fiber. This is achieved using a patent pending opto-mechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. At the same time, the polarization state of the signal is preserved.

Features
  • High Extinction Ratio
  • Low Insertion Loss
  • High Channel Isolation
  • Highly Stable and Reliable
  • Epoxy Free Optical Path
Applications
  • Optical Signal Routing
  • Network Test Systems
  • Instrumentation

1. The PM fiber and the connector key are aligned to the slow axis.
2. The ER is for fiber ≤ 0.75 meter. Increase fiber length can decrease the ER.
3. For devices with connectors, insertionloss will be 0.3dB higher, return loss will be 5dB lower, and extinction loss will be 2dB lower.
