1x8 Mechanical Single-mode Switch

1x8 Mechanical Single-mode Switch

ACP’s MS 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 proprietary configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. The Switch offers ultra-high reliability and fast switching speed as well as bi-directional performance. The MS fiberoptic switches are true switching solution for optical networking applications.
