QuickSwitch® 6282 Introduction
QuickSwitch® Multimode SC Duplex A/B, 850 nm all optical switch, is designed with fiber optic mirror technology. The signal is received by the unit as an optical signal over the fiber strand, is redirected by mirror mechanisms,and leaves the unit as an optical signal over a fiber strand (OOO).
The Model 6282 allows a fiber optic device connected to the unit's SC Duplex COMMON connector to access either of the two fiber optic networks connected to the A, B ports. Switch position can be changed via an A/B front-panel pushbutton, or by a serial RS-232 device connected to the rear panel Remote port. If power to the Model 6282 is lost, the unit will default to the A position and continue to pass data.
QuickSwitch® 6282 Operation
QuickSwitch® 6282's SC Duplex ports are transparent to all data. Corresponding front-panel LEDs indicate the switch position. Position status can also be ascertained from the Remote port connector. Remote switching is accomplished via the DB9 port located on the Model 6282 rear panel.
