4X4 Mechanical Optical Switch (Relay-Latching Type) FW44L-5V-SM-0905
FW44L-5V-SM-0905 is a latching 4X4 single-mode mechanical optical switch for 1310/1550nm, with 5V supply, 0.9mm 0.5M fiber, RS485 and stated dimensions 135×60×20. It controls/switches optical paths and retains the path when powered off. Four optical inputs can be selected to four outputs, or vice versa, supporting bidirectional use under RS485 communication control. It serves optical communications, multichannel optical monitoring in transmission systems, automatic LAN light-source/detector switching, multipoint dynamic fiber-sensing monitoring, and optical testing of fibers, devices, networks and field cables, plus optical-device assembly/alignment.
