Fiber Optic Switches

Moog Components Group's line of fiber optic switches offers a variety of leading-edge solutions for communication applications. Key advantages of these models are small size, low power consumption, high reliability and other proprietary design features. The ruggedized models offer a robust housing that isolates the optical components from external shock and vibration. The performance of these fiber optic components is optimized by the silicon micromachining process used in production.

Typical applications:

- FDDI bypass
- Optical network switching, protection, restoration
- Loopback diagnostic testing
- Network test access
- Tactical platforms (ships, aircraft, etc.)

Commercial Multimode Fiber Optic Switches (On/Off, 1x2, 2x2)(2x2 Bypass)		(PDF Format)
The FO4635 family of commercial multimode switches is based on a well-proven and reliable incorporation of silicon micromachining with an electro mechanical actuation system. These switches are available in On/Off, 1x2, and 2x2 versions, and include a 2x2 version with high loss on one side for use in FDDI and SAFENET systems.

Ruggedized Multimode Fiber Optic Switches (On/Off, 1 x 2, 2 x 2 Bypass)		(PDF Format)
The FO4663R family of ruggedized multimode switches is based on a well-proven and reliable incorporation of silicon micromachining with a shock and vibration resistant electro mechanical actuation system. This product has been in production since the mid 1990's and is utilized in numerous U.S. Navy shipboard and other military systems. The product has been qualified to Navy requirements including the rigorous MIL-S-901D shock and MIL-S-1344A vibration. Some versions of the FO4663R have national stock number designations.
Dual Bypass Switch Module
The Dual Bypass Switch Module contains two independent optical bypass switches. This device is designed to provide a fault tolerant interconnect between a dual FDDI ring network and a dual attach FDDI workstation. The individual switches used in the assembly meet all the requirements of the FDDI Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) standard. The high performance of the device is made possible by the silicon micro machining process used in its production. The low mass associated with these silicon components and Moog Components Group's ruggedization processes allow this product to meet its specified performance in severe shock and vibration environments.
