These fiber switches offer a cost-effective way to provide flexibility in optical network connectivity. Applications include optical protection, optical channel monitoring, remote fiber test systems (RFTSs), remotely reconfigurable add-drop multiplexers, etc. In hyperscale data centers where MPO testing bottlenecks slow deployment, the MPO-24 Multi-Fiber Switch enables effective testing of 12 and 24-fiber MPO cables without breakout cables. Paired FlexScan FS200 SM OTDR>>, technicians configure the test set-up once, which streamlines and automates. Lfiber's optical switches (singlemode/multimode fiber switches) are micro-optic-based, opto-mechanical switches. Where switches simply block or pass optical signals on individual or multiple channels, multiplexers route multiple channels out to a single fiber optic cable.
