Model 6287 Fiber Optic Switch Provides High Speed, Low Insertion Losses, and Remote Control

For Immediate Release

Electro Standards Laboratories, Cranston, RI, announces the new Model 6287 all-optic Fiber A/B Switch, multimode SC duplex, 62.5 micron, with remote 10/100 BASE-T LAN access. This switch enables accessing two separate fiber optic networks or devices, ports A and B, via connection through a network or device connected to the Common port.

The Model 6287 employs Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) based multimode switches. This mirror/prism switch technology supports Gigabit data rates.  Insertion losses are less than 1.0 dB.  The switch is bit-rate and data transparent. All fiber ports are SC duplex, multimode, 62.5/125 micron and support a wavelength of 850 nm.

Local control is via a front-panel pushbutton. Remote control TELNET command interface allows the user to control switch position and monitor switch status. The switch is IP addressable. Control the switch position from a 10/100 Base-T LAN Ethernet environment. If power is lost, switch will default to the A position (prime) and continue to pass data. Switch position status may be attained via front panel LEDs or the remote Graphical User Interface software via the Remote LAN port.
