High Power 1x1, 1x2
OptoMechanical Fiberoptic Switch
(Bidirectional)
(Protected by U.S. patent 6823102 and pending patents)
Product Description
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.

Electrical Driving Requirements
The load is a resistive coil which is activated by applying 5V (draw ~ 40mA). Applying too long pulse for
the latching version will heat up the device. Agiltron offers a computer control kit with TTL and USB
interfaces and Windows

GUI. We also offer RS232 interface as an option – please contact Agiltron sales.
