Optical Switch Module (OSM) (Discontinued)

Range of fully non-blocking optical switch modules from Polatis designed for OEM integration.

The Polatis OSM family is a range of fully non-blocking optical switch modules designed for OEM integration. Excellent repeatability and optical performance are achieved for both single mode and multimode fiber variants using Polatis direct beam steering technology. Switches are available in both symmetric (NxN) and asymmetric (NxM) formats, with (N and M) fiber counts ranging from 4 through to 32 in increments of 4 for single mode products. Multimode switches are currently available with fiber counts up to 16x16. Polatis also offer Reconfigurable switch modules, allowing the user to create any matrix shape within the total fiber count. Reconfigurable switch dimensions currently range from 8 through to 32 fibers. The modules are supplied in a compact package incorporating all required drive and control electronics.
