Single 2x2 Switch

The single 2x2 switch is a standard 2x2 configuration with 4 fiber endpoints and 2 states.

Optical Connectivity

The following diagrams show the optical connections for the different states. The numbers identify the fiber endpoints.

Optical Connectivity
State 1 State 2
S22 State 1 S22 State 2

An Extra Optical Gap

It is important to note that the optical path from 1 to 4 in state 1 has two optical gaps and therefore twice the insertion loss.

X2: Drive Mode
LLatching (Default)
Latching switches require no steady state input power. The switch is set to state 1 or state 2 by a single pulse of 20 milliseconds or longer. Continuous current is preferable to maintain the switched state under high vibrational stress. The latching design retains its switched state during a power loss.
NNon-Latching (Power off = State1)
Non-latching switches require continuous drive current and functions like a conventional relay, which may not retain state during a power loss.
NRNon-Latching Reversed (Power off = State 2)
Non-latching switches require continuous drive current and functions like a conventional relay, change to the bypass state during a power loss.

X6: Voltage
55V, 100 ohm (Default)
Requires a minimum of 4.2V. Low voltages will result in reduced switch speed.
33V, 35 ohm
Requires a minimum of 2.5V. Low voltages will result in reduced switch speed.
5H5V, 50 ohm
Requires a minimum of 4.2V. Low voltages will result in reduced switch speed.
5T5V, 33 ohm
Requires a minimum of 4.2V. Low voltages will result in reduced switch speed.
X7: Loss
LLow (Default)
Typical 0.25 dB loss for singlemode, 0.05-0.10 dB loss for multimode. Utilizes a discrete amount of matching fluid at the gap.
NNormal
Typical 0.7 dB loss for singlemode, 0.5 dB loss for multimode. Features an air gap.
