Fiber-optic switching feature
Fiber-optic switching feature
The 5600 Switching System is available with fiber-optic switching, which increases the system`s number of available switching modules to more than 50. Users can specify modular fiber-optic switches as small as a 1 ¥ 2 and as large as a 1 ¥ 26 multiplexer, and as small as a 2 ¥ 2 and as large as a 26 ¥ 26 matrix. Switches can be used with single- or multimode fiber at 1310 or 1550-nm wavelengths. Insertion loss of a switch is typically 0.4 dB, repeatable to ۪.005 dB, exclusive of connectors. Switches are controlled by a RS-232 or ieee-488 interface and contained in a standard 19-in rack-mount mainframe.
