SUMMARY
The MXOFSW-2X1 is a 2×1 prism optical switch. It will support two optical fibers input and
one fiber output with an auto detect switch. The unit supports a wide operating wavelength
range and a quick switching rate.
The MXOFSW-2X1- has two operational modes:
Manual mode: Through the LCD control interface or via a GUI web interface over a
network, the operator may trigger a switch of the fiber route in real time.
Automatic mode: Automatically detects and switches fiber inputs based on the
parameters set by the operator, or requirement. Example: if input 1 is set to -5 dBm, and if
the input power drops to a level below -5 dBm, the unit will automatically switch to input 2.
The MXOFSW-2X1 is mounted in a 19" rack mount 1U chassis. The LCD is located at the
front panel and provides all operating parameters and the current operator scheme. The
RS232 interface and RJ45 ethernet interface provide remote management and control, as
well as SNMP.
