| Polatis Expands Zero Electrical Power Latching Switch Portfolio Polatis has announced the expansion of its zero power Latching Switch portfolio. The Latching Switches require zero power to maintain an optical signal connection and less than 7W of electrical power to reconfigure a path. Even with no electrical power consumption, the lathing switches offer Polatis' trademark high optical performance and low optical insertion loss. The Latching Switch portfolio is designed using unique, proprietary technology developed in direct response to customer demand for mission critical optical switching applications. The principal applications for the products are signal collection, network monitoring, intrusion detection, remote fiber test, and physical layer protection. All these applications require high performance, high reliability optical switching. The LH series provides hitless, strictly non-blocking matrix switching; the LS series provides re-arrangably non-blocking matrix switching; and the LX series provides ultra-low loss, fixed express connections with the ability to interrupt those connections to insert test equipment or to redirect specified paths to alternate fibers. The Polatis series of latching switches utilize reliable technologies to provide outstanding mean time between failure and failure in time rates. The near zero optical impairments and zero signal modulation ensure a perfect match for all traffic types including RF, SONET, video or DWDM. The newly expanded portfolio of latching switches provides a wide variety of configurations which can be customized for use in a diverse set of fiber system architectures. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
