FOS-12N PM and SM Fiber Optic Switches
Product information "FOS-12N PM and SM Fiber Optic Switches"
1x1; Latching, Non-Latching; Fiber Type PM, SM; 1510-1610 nm; Insertion Loss ≤0.6, ≤0.8 dB; Wavelength Dependent Loss ≤0.25 dB; PER >20 dB; Return Loss <-55 dB
OZ Optics’ FOS-12N series comprises of polarization maintaining (PM) and single mode (SM) fiber optic switches. PM versions are built using polarization maintaining (PM) fiber and maintain polarization to better than 20dB on both channels, while providing less than 0.6dB losses. The switches have been tested over millions of switching cycles with no change in losses or polarization performance.
These switches are ideal for next generation high-speed networks, thanks to the use of PM fiber to eliminate PMD and PDL issues. They are also ideal for test instruments that use PM fibers to make measurements. Single mode fiber versions are also available.
