Fault Simulation: Fiber-cut switch | Device Sharing: 1xN, n(1xN) switch | |
Fiber-cut optical switches simulate optical layer fiber-cuts and packet errors, typically used in automating fiber test scenarios in manufacturing QA, Engineering or Compliance testing labs. These are all-optical switches, so they can be used with any protocol/speed, such as 100G Ethernet with 10x10G lanes or 4x25G lanes.

Therefore, the input light can be switched from input to any one of the outputs at any given time. More... | |
Patch Panel Automation: MxN, n(1xN) switch | ||
MxN matrix or n(1xN) optical switches are used to automate testbed connectivity for various test configurations from remote. It reduces test configuration time as it doesn't require any physical fiber rewiring of testbeds for a different set of test configurations. Our matrix optical switches allow efficient sharing of expensive optical test equipment, saving you thousands of dollars in capital cost. All-optical connectivity means no latency and can be used with any protocol and speed. More... |
