MEMS SWITCHES rSC 1xN
Sercalo's fiber optic 1xN and 2xN switches are bidirectional opto-mechanical switches based on a coaxial design where a single MEMS mirror redirects light from a common fiber to one of N ports. The MEMS technology results in low insertion loss and low cross-talk between channels while keeping a constant switching performance over life.
The switch is available in several different variants to simplify integration in existing systems and reduce development cost. The miniature packages withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. The hermetically sealed MEMS and the laser welded fiber collimator guarantee broad temperature range and superior long-term stability. No epoxy is present in the optical path.
The component is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU.

OVERVIEW
Sercalo's fiber optic 1xN and 2xN switches are bidirectional opto-mechanical switches based on a coaxial design where a single MEMS mirror redirects light from a common fiber to one of N ports. The MEMS technology results in low insertion loss and low cross-talk between channels while keeping a constant switching performance over life.
The switch is available in several different variants to simplify integration in existing systems and reduce development cost. The miniature packages withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.
The hermetically sealed MEMS and the laser welded fiber collimator guarantee broad temperature range and superior long-term stability. No epoxy is present in the optical path.
The component is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU.
Sercalo’s COAXIAL TYPE 1xN switch is non-latching: at power-off it breaks the optical connection and routing of the common port is not defined. The component is bidirectional, the common port can be used as input or output. The PM Panda version is offered up to 1x4 ports.
The switch is available in four different variants:
SC: standard size – ribbon fibers
mSC: miniature size – small driver board: 7x40 mm
rSC: compatible with industry pin-out
bcSC: bare optical component
