LightBend High Power 1x1 1x2 Optical Switch

The LB series 1x1, 1x2 High Power OptoMechanical fiber optic switch can be configured as either a 1x1 switch or a 1x2 switch. Based on Agiltron’s patent pending, it can work in high optical power up to 10 W. The switch is driven by a pulsed electrical signal, and the latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. Its integrated status contacts to provide an electrical readout of the switch position. It is designed for high optical power and some specific applications. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches. The switch is bidirectional.
