Fiber optic network backup switches allow the users the capability of sharing a device/s connected to the COMMON port/s among devices connected to the (A, B, C, etc.)lettered or (1, 2, 3, etc.) numbered ports. The number of switch positions required will be related to how many devices or networks to which you want to send data. This paper will evaluate the elements required to design a fiber optic network backup switch.
Products & Services
Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic cables are composed of one or more transparent optical fibers enclosed in protective coverings and strength members. Fiber optic cables are used to transmit "light" data.
Fiber Optic Switches
Fiber optic switches route an optical signal without electro-optical and opto-electrical conversions.
