MEMS 1XN OPTICAL SWITCH
CYLINDRICAL PACKAGE
DiCon’s MEMS 1xN Optical Switch allows channel selection
between an input fiber and up to N output fibers. The switch
is bi-directional and can also be used as a Nx1 selector switch.
Built using DiCon’s industry proven MEMS fiber optic switch
technology, this optical switch offers highly reliable, durable,
long-life operation in a compact, OEM package.
