DiCon's 2x2 Prism Switch provides channel selection from a pair of input fibers to a pair of output fibers. Actuated electrically and operating independently of data rate and signal format, the component uses a moving prism between fixed collimator pairs. The 2x2 Prism Switch is housed in a compact, environmentally stable package designed for mounting on a printed circuit board or within a module.

Features

• Very fast switching speed
• Ultra-low insertion loss
• Built-in position sensor
• Low polarization dependent loss
• Wide wavelength range

Applications

2x2 Non-Blocking Switches are used for node bypassing in FDDI and SONET rings and active optical add/drop multiplexing.
