Fiber optical switches

Fibersystems fiber optical switches

As an innovative organization, we both develop new products as well as improve already existing. All our switches are therefore available in different configurations to fit the needs and demands of your industry, from military and remote networks to classified. If your needs were to change within the future we’re quick to respond, altering the product to fit the new demands of network isolation.

Fiber optical switch, range

Fibersystem broadens the range of fiber optical switches, remotely operated. Range: 1×2 1-channel MM, 1×2 4-channels MM, 1×2 6-channels MM, 1×4 1-channel MM, 1×32 1-channel MM.

The Fibersystems fiber optical switches can be configured with remotely operated switch functionality. It is a combined remote switch and management functionality, running a built-in processor with operating system and a mini web server. By invoking software calls to the web server, the switch can be operated as desired

Examples of applications:

• Optical protection
• Test systems
• Remote reconfigurable add-drop Multiplexers
• Remote provisioning of FTTH and dark fiber
• Disaster recovery
• Re-routing
• Restoration of communication

Fiber optical switch features:

• Pure optical path
• Transparent to data speed
• Protocol independent
• Manual or remote control (Web GUI)
• Cost efficient
• Future pro

Transparent fiber optical switching for manual or remote control

The new Fibersystem fiber optical switch provides a transparent optical path, with no signal conversion or electrical loss. The device is thus fully independent of protocols and transmission speed. Switching can either be remote controlled or done by a physical switch.

The transparent mode of operation means that the fiber optical switch offers great flexibility to accommodate the widest range of applications. These include remote provisioning of Fiber to the Home, re-routing, disaster recovery and test systems.

FAQ:

What is a fiber optical switch?

A fiber optic switch is a hardware remote control device, in appearance similar to a computer router, that makes it possible to switch either the optical signals on and off or to change from one channel to another. The remote control is accessed via a built-in web service or panel switch, depending on the switch model. It is mostly used for fiber optic networks.

What’s the purpose of a fiber optical switch?

The fiber optical switch in networks is used to receive and send data transmissions while optimizing the fiber optic signal.

When is a fiber optical switch used?

In networks, the fiber optical switch enables star topology routing by providing a large amount of ports for cable connections. This can be used to connect several PC:s to the same network.

Functioning as a bridge, the fiber optical switch forwards messages to a certain host in the same network by using the same filter on each port and decoding the frames.
The switch can be used to control traffic coming into or leaving the network, easily connecting both computers and access points.

The fiber optical switch can be used to expand the bandwidth of the LAN by dividing it into several collision domains with independent broadband. Since there is no limit in protocol or speed, nor any electrical loss or electrical bandwidth limit, the fiber optical switch is a cost-effective and safe choice for military and classified networks.

How do fiber optical switches contribute to network security and data integrity?

Fiber optical switches enhance network security and data integrity by providing secure, high-speed data transmission that is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and eavesdropping compared to traditional copper-based systems. Additionally, they enable segmentation of network traffic, facilitating more controlled access and reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
