Product Bulletin SW Series Fiberoptic Switch Modules Description The SW Series of fiberoptic switch modules connect a single channel to one of several (up to five) channels. In addition to the single pole configurations, the SW Series also supports several two pole versions, as shown schematically. Note that the 2x4 version can be driven independently as two 1x2 switches. Key Features Typical insertion loss 0.5 dB Both single-mode and multimode versions are available. In operation, the SW switch connects the optical channel by Return loss greater than 55 dB Wide choice of configurations redirecting the optical signal into a selected output fiber. This is achieved using optical prisms driven by a highly Small size High repeatability over a broad range of precise mechanism and activated via an electrical control signal. environmental conditions Simple control The use of collimating lenses minimizes the insertion loss and improves the repeatability and stability of the switch parameters. The SW switches are optically passive and are, therefore, transparent to signalling formats. Configurations can be optimized for bidirectional performance as a factory option. Configurations Solid lines represent the unpowered (0 V DC) state of the switch. Applications Optical signal routing, fiber network configuration, and restoration Sensor switching, source/detection selection, reference, and multisource measurements in instrumentation Fiberoptic component testing Research and development Page 2 SW Series Specifications Parameter Insertion loss Return loss single-mode1 multimode1 Polarization dependent loss2,3 Insertion loss stability4 Repeatability Crosstalk Optical input power Switching time5 Cycle rate Operating temperature Storage temperature Humidity (non-condensing) Power6 Dimensions (WxHxD) Weight Control Typical 0.5 dB 0.4 dB 50 dB 60 dB 25 dB 0.02 dB 0.03 dB 0.003 dB -70 dB Maximum 0.8 dB 0.7 dB 45 dB (minimum) 55 dB (minimum) 20 dB (minimum) 0.07 dB 0.05 dB 0.005 dB -60 dB 300 mW 10 ms 15 ms 5 c/s -25 to 65 C -40 to 80 C 95% 55% V DC/45 mA (70 mA for TTL option) 40 x 17 x 40 mm (fiber version) 70 x 17 x 40 mm (cable version) 70 x 17 x 40 mm (fiber or cable version) 70 x 17 x 70 mm (fiber or cable version) 45, 80, and 140 g direct or TTL (SM) (MM) SM2 SM2 (high RL) MM SM SW1x1, 1x2, 2B SW1x1, 1x2, 2B SW2x2 SW1x3, 1x4, 1x5, 2x4 1.
