Coreray’s OSW-1×4‑Hi 980nm Mechanical Optical Switch is a high‑performance 1×4 optical path switching device specifically engineered for 980nm wavelength applications. Utilizing a precision mechanical structure with moving mirrors, this fiber optic switch enables reliable switching from one input to four output ports. It features low insertion loss, high return loss, and exceptional stability, making it ideal for EDFA pump laser switching, optical component testing, fiber sensing, and network protection systems.
· High Precision Optics: Employs Hi1060 single‑mode fiber and precision collimators for low insertion loss (typ. 0.8 dB) and minimal polarization‑dependent loss.
· Dual Control Interfaces: Supports both TTL and RS232 control (DB9 female, 12‑pin adapter) for flexible system integration.
· Industrial Reliability: Wide operating temperature range (-20 °C to 70 °C) and EMI‑resistant design ensure stable performance in harsh environments.
· Compact Size: Small footprint (135×40×39.5 mm) for easy integration.
· Long Lifespan: 20 high‑precision motor drives achieve over 10 million switching cycles, reducing maintenance costs.
· Customizable Options: Available with custom fiber lengths, connector types (FC/APC, FC/PC, etc.), and other parameters.
· Robust Protection: 0.9 mm flame‑retardant loose tube protects fibers.
· 100% Tested: Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee performance and reliability.

Q: What is the switching speed of this optical switch?
A: The typical switching time is ≤15 ms for TTL control and depends on the RS232 command response.
Q: Can I use this switch for wavelengths other than 980nm?
A: Yes, we offer models for 850 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and other wavelengths. Please refer to the ordering information below.
Q: Does the switch support latching function?
A: This model is non‑latching; it requires continuous power to maintain the selected channel. For latching versions, please contact us.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ is 1 piece, with sample orders available.
