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.

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.
