LightBend Quad 1x1 Multi-Mode Optical Switch

The LB Quad 1x1 Multimode Fiberoptic switch is a highly integrated single device with 8 fiber ports. Based on an Agiltron’s pending patent, the switch is designed especially for protection and restoration applications. The switch is activated by a 5V pulse between two states and latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical contact based position sensors. The proprietary simple design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as unmatched low cost. Electronic driver is available for this series of switches. The switch is bidirectional.
