Black Box SW1005A Latching Fiber Optic A/B/C/D Switch, Multimode, ST Connectors

The latching SW1005A Fiber Optic A/B/C/D Switch is a full-duplex, optical 4 port switch. It can be used to connect one workstation to four different networks (one at a time) or to other remote devices. A front panel rotary style knob allows the user to select which of four ports (A, B, C or D) is connected to the COMMON port on the switch. The switch operates using a unique all-optical micro-mirror movement. When you turn the rotary knob on the front of the switch to select a network, the internal micro-mirror movement redirects the optical beam from one network port to another network port by rotating a miniature mirror. This technique eliminates the need to convert optical signals to electronic signals to for switching and it is therefore transparent to data rates and protocols. This switch is perfectly suited for applications where a selected connection must be maintained in the event of a power failure.
