MEMS-1XN (N ≤ 8) PM optical switch

The 1×N PM MEMS optical switch is a polarisation maintaining optical switching device based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, which can dynamically distribute an input optical signal to N (N ≤ 8) polarisation preserving fibre optic output ports while strictly maintaining the polarisation of the input light (e.g., TE/TM mode).

5 . Precautions

Before using the optical switch module, in order to avoid any damage to the optical switch module, please read the following rules carefully:

1. Before use, clean the optical fiber end of the connector with alcohol cotton. Please take a dust cap when not in use to prevent the dust or other dirt from polluting or damaging the fiber end face. Fiber end damage or contamination will affect the optical switch module performance.

2. Do not pull, fold and twist the optical fiber, so as to avoid fiber damage.

3. Detailed pin definition for control interfaces, to ensure that the connection is correct. After determining the connection is correct, then power-up operation.

4. When the external circuit needs to be changed, please turn off the power, then disconnect the module control line, the control line is prohibited with hot-swappable.

5. Do not look directly at the fiber end when the optical switch module has an optical signal input. Laser radiation is not visible, but will cause harm to the human eye!

6. The device should be fireproof, shockproof, to avoid storage and work in an over-humid environment.

7. The device is a precision optical device, shall not be disassembled, so as not to damage.
