New 1xN Cost Effective Switches
Added: (Wed Feb 01 2012)
Pressbox (Press Release) -
A novel self-aligning V-groove innovation enables extremely cost effective 1xN (up to 1x500) optical switches.
Agiltron patent pending SelfAlign technology eliminates the need for collimating lenses and optical coatings employed in traditional optical switches.
1x8 to 1x500
Ultra-low insertion loss: ~0.6dB (any N)
Ultra broadband: 300~2,000nm
Self-latching
Any fibre core size
Durability: 107 cycles
Embedded driver (RS232, RS485, RJ45 or USB)
GUI software
This expands the already comprehensive range of optical switches from Agiltron including:
Ultra-low loss LightBend (~0.5dB)
Ultra-high reliability CrystaLatch (>1011)
Very fast Nanospeed (~0.3ės)
In standard, latching, high power, PM, bidirectional and up to 16 x 16 versions
N x N versions (up to 500 x 500) will be available soon.
