Latching Switches are suited for optical network applications.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 07:36:21 -0500

LS, LH, and LX Series Latching Switches require zero power to maintain optical signal connection and less than 7 W of electrical power to reconfigure any path. LH series provides hitless, strictly non-blocking matrix switching, LS series provides re-arrangably non-blocking matrix switching, and LX series provides low loss, fixed express connections with ability to interrupt those connections to insert test equipment or to redirect specified paths to alternate fibers.
