Product Overview

The OSW-1X2-SM series is a premium 1x2 mechanical optical switch meticulously engineered by Coreray for mission-critical applications in optical communication networks, fiber optic testing, and advanced sensor systems. Operating on a 3V non-latching control scheme, this compact and durable switch provides exceptional performance with dual-wavelength compatibility (1310nm & 1550nm) and is terminated with high-precision FC/APC connectors.

Designed for consistency and manufacturing efficiency, our proprietary three-fiber production scheme modularizes components, allowing for independent testing and flexible customization to meet your specific project needs. Whether you require a reliable fiber optic switch for a data center or a robust component for an outdoor base station, the OSW-1X2 series delivers unparalleled performance.

Key Features & Advantages

·         Superior Signal Integrity: Equipped with high-precision FC/APC connectors, achieving a return loss of ≥50dB. This minimizes back reflections, ensuring pristine signal transmission quality for sensitive equipment.

·         Rapid Optical Path Switching: Features a fast switching time of ≤10ms, meeting the stringent real-time requirements of modern communication systems for dynamic optical path reconfiguration.

·         Energy-Efficient Design: Powered by a low 3V DC supply, this fiber optic switch consumes 20% less power compared to similar products, making it ideal for long-term, continuous operation in high-density installations.

·         Rugged Environmental Stability: Subjected to rigorous 48-hour temperature cycling tests from -40°C to +85°C, guaranteeing consistent and reliable performance in extreme environments, from industrial control sites to outdoor telecom cabinets.

·         Innovative Three-Fiber Architecture: Our unique design utilizes three independent single fibers (with clear P1/P2/P3 pigtail marking) to effectively eliminate signal interference common in traditional two-fiber designs, enhancing switching precision by 40%.

Typical Applications

·         Data Centers: For fiber link backup and protection switching, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission between server clusters.

·         Fiber Optic Sensing Systems: Enables signal switching between multiple monitoring points, greatly expanding the coverage and capability of sensing networks.

FAQ: Common Questions About Our 1x2 Fiber Optic Switch

Q: What is the difference between a latching and non-latching optical switch?
A: A latching switch maintains its optical path state even after the drive voltage is removed, using a magnetic circuit. Our non-latching optical switch requires continuous voltage to maintain the switched state and returns to its default position (usually P3->P1) when power is cut. This makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent switching and lower power consumption during the idle state.

Q: Can the pigtail length and connector type be customized?
A: Yes, absolutely. As a leading optical switch manufacturer in China, Coreray offers extensive customization. While the standard version comes with 1.0m pigtails and FC/APC connectors, we can tailor both the length and connector type (e.g., LC/APC, SC/PC) to your exact requirements.

Q: How does the three-fiber design improve performance?
A: The three-fiber design physically separates the input and output fibers, which significantly reduces internal signal scattering and crosstalk. This results in higher isolation and lower insertion loss variation, providing a cleaner and more reliable signal path compared to some traditional folded-path designs.
