Octo Full 2x2 Non-Latching Single Mode MEMS Optical Switch

The etMEMS Series Octo Full 2x2 Single mode Fibre optic switch integrates 8 Full 2×2 switches in a single compact format. It is designed for 40G transceiver bypass application. The device connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibres. This is achieved using a proprietary etMEMSconfiguration and activated via an electrical control signal. It uniquely features rugged thermal activated micro-mirror movement instead of rotation, and the novel design significantly simplify the control electronics, offering unprecedented high stability and an unmatched low cost.Features
