Mechanical Optical Switch
Overview Specifications Optical Route Order now！
The SIMTRUM Mechanical Optical Switch series employs a mature and reliable precision mechanical drive mechanism to physically switch optical paths by moving optical components (such as prisms, mirrors, or fiber collimators).
 
Renowned for exceptional stability, very low insertion loss, and high cost-effectiveness, this series forms an ideal foundation for building optical test platforms, network monitoring, and protection systems. We offer a complete product matrix from simple channel switching (1x1) to complex multi-path routing (e.g., 1xN rotary).
 
The entire series adheres to an Epoxy-free on Optical Path design, completely eliminating optical performance degradation caused by adhesive aging, ensuring consistent performance under long-term use and harsh environments. Both Latching and Non-latching types are available to meet diverse application needs for state retention and switching speed.

Features

  • Low Insertion Loss & High Stability: Insertion loss as low as 0.5 dB (typ.) with excellent repeatability (≤ ±0.02 dB), ensuring high-fidelity signal transmission.
  • Broad Wavelength Range: Covers multiple windows including 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm, supporting both single-mode and multimode fibers.
  • Superior Optical Performance: High return loss (≥ 50 dB) and high isolation (≥ 55 dB), effectively reducing system crosstalk.
  • Extended Mechanical Lifetime: Withstands over 10 million switching cycles, meeting high-frequency testing and monitoring demands.
  • Flexible Configurations: Available in various forms such as 1x2, 2x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1xN, including miniaturized and cascade packages.

 

Applications

  • Optical network remote monitoring (RMON) and fiber line protection switching
  • Laboratory R&D, automated testing and measurement systems for optical devices
  • Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADM)
  • Multi-channel signal selection and routing in sensing networks
