LightBend 16x16 Single Mode Optical Switch Matrix

The LB Series 16x16 Single Mode Optic Switch Matrix connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into any output fibers. This is achieved using a patent pending opto-mechanical configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. This new material-based advanced design significantly reduces moving part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. The switch is bidirectional.
