2x2 Singlemode Bypass Mechanical Fiberoptic Switch

AC Photonics’ 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 mechanical operation offers ultra-high reliability and fast switching speed as well as bi-directional performance. The MS fiberoptic switches are true switching solutions for optical networking applications.
