The optical ports on the switch are usually paired together, with one TX sender and one RX receiver. The "MxN" in the term represents the number of inputs (M) and outputs (N), so an MxN optical switch can handle a variety of configurations, such as 8x8, 16x16, or even larger. Switches come in three types: those with purely Ethernet ports, those with purely optical ports, and those with a combination of both. Port types are limited to two: optical and Ethernet. MEMS Matrix Optical Switch allow simultaneous connection between a number of input and output fibers, in a fully non-blocking, all-optical, cross-connect configuration. GEZHI MxN MEMS Optical Switch matrix module are useful to add redundancy to an optical network, or for resource sharing in test &. The MAP Series mOSX-C1 optical matrix switch is part of the broader VIAVI test automation switch portfolio. More than just a switch, the mOSX-C1 is a low loss, flexible test path manager. VERSITRON manufactures a wide range of fiber optic switches that provide links for your 10Base, 100Base, 1000Base Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit networks simultaneously.
