Black Box SW1002A Latching Fiber Optic A/B Switch, Multimode, ST Connectors

The SW1002A Latching Fiber Optic A/B Switch is a full-duplex optical switch. It can be used to connect a network or shared device to one of two networks or remote devices. A front panel rotary style knob allows the user to select which of the two ports (A or B) is connected to the COMMON Port on the switch. The switch operates using a unique all-optical micro-mirror, eliminating the complexity and vulnerabilities of electronic fiber switches. When you turn the rotary knob on the front of the switch to select (A or B) connected to COMMON, the internal micro-mirror rotates to redirect the optical beam from one port to the other. This technique eliminates the need to convert optical signals to electronic signals for switching and is therefore transparent to data rates and protocols. No power is required to pass optical data through the switch and there is no setup required. The latching optical switch maintains the selected optical connection even when power is lost or removed.
