Custom Fiber Optic Switch Systems

The custom fiber optic system is conceived as a

collection of building blocks which can be chosen by
the costumer to fulfill his needs. The heart of the
systems are the MEMS Optical Switch, varialbe optical
attenuators,

couplers,

splitters

together

with

kilometers of fiber divided into sections. All integrated

in the same instrument to achieve costumers needs
concerning measurements, simulations and testing.
The inputs are basically the fiber optical inputs and
the control inputs. For the moment a serial input
(RS232) and an USB control are available. The outputs
available for measurement are the optical fibers
themselves together with outputs to measure the
energy, s/n ration, and BERT.

Applications
Some of the applications for Custom Fiber Optic
System are the following:
Real Network Simulation: This system allows to
simulate real network conditions by switching reels of
fiber into the optical path. Due to its flexibility and its

configurable

character,

it

can

simulate

different

network configurations scenarios in order to study the

behavior in each case.
Improve

Optical

Testing

and

Measurements:

Thanks to the electronic control of the optical parts,

the user can choose easily which components are
active simply by sending the required information to
the serial/USB port.
Automatic Testing: The user can build his own solution
integrating system together with a computer, other
measurement instruments and a bus.
Fibercasa optical switch uses a moving prism between
fixed collimator pairs, which allows bi-directional
operation independent of data rate and signal format.
9/125 and 62.5/125 m, 1 m long, jacketed fiber
pigtails are available on all models. In addition,
optional ST, FC and SC fiber connector termination
options can be added. We supply optical switches
based on Opto-mechanical Switch, MEMS, Solid-State
technology

with

proven

reliability

and

the

configurations are available as 1 x 1, 1 x 2, 2 x 2, etc..

Moreover, we offer non-latching, latching, single-mode

and multimode versions. Our optical switches are all

with high quality and ready for the FTTx applications.
