QuickSwitch® Model 6256 Tri-Channel SC Duplex A/B/OFFLINE Switch with Contact Closure Remote
The application drawing illustrates three independent channels or A/B/OFFLINE Switching. Each channel has an SC Duplex COMMON port with access to Device 1, Device 2 or an OFFLINE position. The DB9 Remote port allows the user to control the unit via Contact Closure Commands.
FEATURES:
- Each of three channels allows quick connection to any one of two SC Duplex devices from one COMMON device.
- The switch ports are transparent to all data.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology and supports Gigabit data rates.
- When power is lost, all channels revert to the Offline position.
- When power is restored, all channels remain in the Offline position until commanded otherwise.
- “OFFLINE” switch position stops any, and all data throughput for the unit.
- Local control via front-panel pushbuttons.
- Individual control of each channel.
- The Remote port accepts dry contact closure commands for switch position.
- Front panel LED’s display switch position and power status.
- All fiber ports are SC duplex, multimode 50/125 micron and support a wavelength of 850 nm.
- Custom length rigorously tested and certified, SC duplex fiber optic cables available for your switch installation.
The QuickSwitch® 6256 Tri-Channel SC Duplex A/B/Offline fiber optic network switch with Contact Control Remote allows a device connected to the COM port access to the A or B port for each of its three channels. Alternatively, the unit can be switched to its OFFLINE position and totally isolate connection to the A and B ports. The QuickSwitch® 6256 fits in a standard 19" rack, taking 1U of rack space. The switch may be controlled manually via the front panel pushbutton or remotely from a DB9 port located on the rear of the unit. Switch position state may be attained via the front panel LED's.
