Description

The fully-integrated 5200-Series 64 x 64 MEMS-based optical switch component for optical networking systems features scalable, 3D MEMS architecture. It offers 64 input and 64 output ports in a small form factor, and contains the control and feedback electronics needed to be easily incorporated into a system.

The 64 x 64 MEMS optical switch module utilizes moving micromirrors capable of manipulating light, eliminating the need for OEO conversions, and resulting in bit-rate and protocol independence.
