LightBend Dual 1x1 1x2 Multi-Mode Optical Switch

The LB Series Dual 1x1 multi-mode Opto-Mechanical Fibre Optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibres. This is achieved using a patent pending opto-mechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors. This novel design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches. The switch is bidirectional.
