1x4 Mechanical PM Fiberoptic Switch

1x4 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

Note:

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, insertion loss will be 0.3dB higher, return loss will be 5dB lower, and extinction loss will be 2dB lower.

All values referenced are without connector.
