Fiber Optic A/B Switch ensures less than 1.0 dB insertion loss.
Press Release Summary:
Offering manual control via front panel pushbutton or remote control via RS-232 (DB9) serial port, QuickSwitch® 6271 lets users access either of 2 SC duplex fiber optic networks from one computer connected to SC duplex COMMON port. MEMS-based multimode mirror switch (1,300 nm) shows position on front panel LED. Switched fiber optic SC duplex ports are transparent to data and speed, and switch will remain in current position and continue to allow unit to pass data in event of power failure.
Original Press Release:
New Fiber Optic Network A/B Switch Ensures Insertion Losses of Less than 1.0 dB.
QuickSwitch® 6271 Fiber Optic SC Duplex A/B Mirror Switch w/ Remote Serial Control
QuickSwitch® 6271 Features:
Electro Standards Laboratories' Model 6271 enables a device connected to the COMMON port to access either of two separate Fiber Optic networks via SC duplex ports. This cutting-edge switch utilizes MEMS-based (Micro Electro Mechanical System) multimode switches. The switch position of the Model 6271 can be controlled manually via a front panel pushbutton or remotely using the RS-232 serial port located on the rear of the unit. Once connected to the remote port, the computer can use any common terminal emulation software to manipulate the controls and monitor the switch position.
