The OSX-100E is an off-the-shelf fiber optic switch component that can be easily integrated into virtually any fiber optic routing or switching application. It is readily available in common fiber types (standard single-mode, 50 um or 62.5 um multimode); but can also be ordered with specialty fiber types (step index, large core multimode, small core single-mode).
Switches can be configured for 1x2 up to 1x80 channels and are also available in 2B or 2C configurations (see configuration options). For more complex signal routing and switching, the low loss (< 0.5 dB) allows for concatenating switches to enable higher channel counts. For ease of integration, each switch comes with a pre-programmed driver board and uses standard I2C communication protocol for control. The driver board that can be mounted separately or with the optical switch, giving more flexibility.
