SW Series Fiber Optic MEMS Switches

Latching; 1x2 to 1x16; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 1240 to 1640 nm; Insertion Loss 0.5 to 1.6 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 1 to 10 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s SL series are fast, latching opto-mechanical MEMS switches for the most demanding applications in fiber optic communication networks. They maintain the last switching state after power is removed and are available in configurations 1x2, 2x2, 1x4, 1x8 and 1x16 with a variety of driver options and a capacitive position sensor (SLTS variants). SL series switches are the best choice where highest reliability and self test capability are required. The SL series’ highly reliable switching mechanism uses integrated micro-mirrors that can be moved in or out of the optical path by electrostatic actuation. This latching mechanism offers the best repeatability and long term stability, has a very fast response time down to below 1 ms for some models and only 0.5 to 1.6 dB insertion loss. The underlying MEMS technology permits to obtain low insertion loss combined with high crosstalk between channels. With their miniature package, withstanding rugged environments and well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards, the SL series switches offer solid state reliability, accurate precision and fast response time and are qualified according to Telcordia GR 1221. Powered by a voltage between 4.0 and 5.25 VDC on the supply pin, the LS series switch’s state is selected with a CMOS or TTL signal on the selector pins. A high pulse during at least 2 ms on one of the selector pins toggles the switch into either cross state or bar state. At 0 V on the selector pins or at power off, the switch remains in the last selected state. The switching mechanism offers the reliability of a solid state device; it neither wears out nor degrades over time. Even after billions of cycles the switching quality stays constant. 1x8 and 1x16 models communicate over a UART interface with TTL or RS-232 voltage levels and over a secondary SMBus/I2C or USB interface.

Cleaning Tools for Connectors, Plugs & Adapters; Pen, Simple or Stick Types; Connector Types MU, LC, SC, SC2, FC, FAS, FA, ST, E2000, PC/APC, ODC, MPO, MPT, ATC, Ø1.25 mm, Ø2.5mm; No Alcohol or Solvents NTT-AT’s NEOCLEAN series of fiber optical connector cleaners are tools that combine compactness with the workability of one-push cleaning. NEOCLEAN tools remove dirt you can’t even see, without scratching the connector’s end face. Designed to work with dedicated microfiber tissue, the NEOCLEAN series of fiber optical connector cleaners allows all operators to consistently achieve high quality cleaning without alcohol or other solvents.With NEOCLEAN-E, NEOCLEAN-EZ and NEOCLEAN-M/M2, the NEOCLEAN line of pen type fiber optical connector cleaners provides a line-up of nine different high performance hybrid type cleaners that provide cleaning for a broad range of both optical connector plugs and adaptors in one unit. The NEOCLEAN-E simple one push action cleans the ferrule end face in device adapters. Its cleaning cartridge is replaceable, with each cartridge performing about 750 cleanings, greatly reducing cleaning costs. Using the attached cap you can also the clean ferrule end face in plugs. The NEOCLEAN-EZ line features an especially compact body, designed for cleaning in the narrow spaces of optical connector ports with a one push action. Simply remove the front tip cap to clean optical plugs. Fixing the attachment to the rear end allows you to also clean deeply recessed optical ports. NEOCLEAN-EZv is developed exclusively for easy cleaning of 2 mm broadcasting and video optical connectors, while NEOCLEAN-EZ3 can clean 2.5 mm optical connector ports and plugs as well as 2 mm video connectors. NEOCLEAN-EZ1Plus can clean 1.25 mm optical connector ports, ODC plugs and ODC sockets. The NEOCLEAN-M series of pen type cleaners allows you to instantly clean MPO/MTP connectors. NEOCLEAN-M for 12-core systems and NEOCLEAN-M2 for 16-core systems respond to the need for end face cleaning. NTT-AT’s NEOCLEAN-R2 line of simple type fiber optical connector cleaners uses cleaning tape that does not produce dust and provides special cleaning strength while resisting foreign particles to mix into the tape. A simplified tape advance mechanism resulted in cost reductions for both manufacturing and assembly. The main body is also made from anti-static material.Also made with antistatic materials, the NEOCLEAN-S line of stick type fiber optical connector cleaners controls the generation of static electricity during the cleaning process. And just as with the reel type, the cloth in the cleaning part is made from special cleaning fiber. Featuring 1.25 mm or 2.5 mm ends, NEOCLEAN-S is a very useful tool for cleaning connector end faces inserted into adaptors and housings.

Latching; 1x1, 2x1, 2x2; Fiber Type SM, MM; 600 to 1700 nm; Insertion Loss 1.0 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 2 to 10 ms Sercalo Microstechnology’s SXLA series are latching type fiber optic MEMS switches for telecom and test and measurement applications. The single mode SXLA series achieves excellent repeatability and reliability and meets Telcordia 1221 quality standards. The SXLA series are miniature opto-mechanical switches for fiber optic communication systems and submodules, available in latching variants, with 1x1, 2x1, 2x2 configurations. The SXLA series offers smallest size, ease of integration and the established reliability of Sercalo Microtechnology’s MEMS components. The package is one of the smallest in the industry. It is optimized for low cost production while maintaining high reliability. In the SXLA switches, the optical switching function is realised by a silicon MEMS chip, on which a mirror can be moved in and out of the optical path by electrostatic actuation. The miniature SXLA series is available as latching variant where a bistable suspension mechanism keeps the last selected state in power off. The non-latching type (i.e. SXNA) is not recommended for new designs. To operate the switch, 5 V and 0 V are applied on pins 1 and 2, which are used by the internal DC/DC converter to supply a high voltage for the actuator control. CMOS or TTL logic levels on pins 3 to 4 control the electrostatic actuator. To set the switch state, pin 3 respectively pin 4 are set to logic high (5 V) for 20 ms and the corresponding switch state is selected. At rest pins 3 and 4 should be pulled to 0 V and must not be floating.

High Power; Insertion Loss <0.5 dB; Power Handling ≤50 W; Shutter Response Speed <5 ms; Shutter Electrical Interface 5 V TTL In response to increasing demand for high power handling fiber optic components, OZ Optics has developed the HPCR / AA-250 / SH-200 series of fiber optic shutters and connectors that incorporate smart sensors for safety interlocks. These shutter systems can be incorporated in high power handling components, including freespace-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber coupling situations. For extreme power handing capabilities, the shutters can also incorporate additional beam dumps and/or heat sinks to safely absorb the blocked laser power. The key components that allow realization of smart shutters and safety interlocks are a series of proximity sensors and temperature sensors installed at suitable locations in the body of fiber optic assemblies. These provide the necessary electrical signals to alert the end user to take appropriate action. Key Features: Multiple Watt CW Power Handling Shutter Speeds of <5 ms Controlled via 5 V TTL Signal Available with Temperature and Connector Proximity Sensors for Safety Interlocks Compatible with SMA 905 and FC Connectors Available in Laser-to-fiber and Fiber-to-fiber Versions Fiber Connectors and Receptacles with Safety Sensor/interlocks Available Applications: All Situations Involving Laser Beams, Including High Power Laser Beams Coupled into SM or MM Fibers; Laser Facilities Requiring Compliance to Laser Safety Standards; High Power Industrial and Medical Laser Applications - Laser Marking, Cutting, Welding, Laser Scalpel, Eye Surgery, Tattoo Removal; High Power Laser Physics; High Power Spectroscopy; OEM Laser Systems

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.
