LightBend 4x4 Optical Switch

The LightBend 4x4 Series fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting any of four incoming optical signals into any of four output fibers. This is achieved using a patent pending optomechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. This new material-based advanced design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. The LB 4x4 series Switch can be made of a variety of fibers, including SM, MM, PM fibers, in standard or highpower version. Electronic Driver is available for this series of switches. The LightBend 4x4 series switch is bidirectional.
