CrystaLatch Bidirectional 1x8 Optical Switch
The Cl series true bidirectional 1x8 solid state fibre optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fibre. This is achieved using patented non-mechanical configurations and activated by an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical patch after the drive signal has been removed. These switches are true bidirectional allowing light propagating in both directions - a critical feature for sensing applications. The all solid state CL fibre optic switch also features insertion loss. high extinction ratio. high channel isolation and extremely high reliability and repeatability. It is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of ultra-high reliability and fast response time.Key Features
