LXI Optical Switching
- Available in 4, 8 or 16 channels
- Single or multi-mode fiber support
- MEMS switching technology for high reliability and fast operating speed
- Loop-thru option for easy multiplexer expansion
- Simple remote control via Ethernet interface
- Compliant to LXI Standard 1.4
Our LXI optical switching are fiber optic multiplexers that use MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) switching technology to ensure fast and reliable switching of single or multi-mode optical signals being carried on fiber connections. Our LXI optical switching can be offered for single or multi-mode fibers. This series is focused on multiplexer arrangements – if you are looking for matrix based solutions, please contact us with your requirements.
LXI is an ideal platform for supporting optical switching systems; the use of Ethernet control makes it easy to provide optical switching within the network that is easy to control via a programmatic or web based interface. MEMS switch technology offers higher performance and longer operational life compared to conventional prism based optical switching.
These are supported by a comprehensive range of cable and connector accessories and come with a standard 3 year warranty.
