Switch, MEMS Series

Switch, MEMS Series



The JDSU 1xN switch, based on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, is a compact optical switch which provides optical signal connection between a single common fiber and N output/input fibers. Its hermetic packaging provides high reliability under demanding conditions.

Collimated beam optics, an epoxy-free optical path, and a specially designed MEMS mirror enable excellent performance characteristics. Together with control electronics, the switch can be controlled though digital interfaces.
