 Block diagram for Optic Swtich Operation 


The OS-5111 is a “fiber optic relay” that can be electrically controlled. The optical path through the units is purely optical; i.e. there is no optical to electrical to optical conversion. There is no electrical loss or electrical bandwidth limit on the fiber optic path. The optical path can be select via a front panel switch or via contact closure input. In event of loss of power, the unit has a fail safe mode that closes the switch.  Common applications for this device are optical routing, system bypass, network cut off switch, and fiber optic testing.

For applications where two independent optical channels need to be switched, the OS-5111 can be daisy chained or the OS-5211 is two OS-5111 in a single package.  If you require a normally closed optical switch see the OS-3111
