1x8 optical switch is an all solid-state device without any moving parts. The switching of the optical signal is based on well-known Faraday Effect, and realized by using a patent protected non-mechanical configuration with solid-state all-crystal design which eliminates the need for mechanical movement. The microsecond fiber optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements for reliability, durability, speed, and none-stopping high frequency switching.
