LightBend Quad 2x2 Bypass Multi-Mode Optical Switch

The LB Series Quad 2x2 Bypass multimode OptoMechanical Fiberoptic switch integrated 4 simultaneously activated 2x2 Bypass switches in a single compact format. The device connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is achieved using a patented 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. The switch is bidirectional.
