SM8003 - Prism Switches
The SPST switch provides channel control from one input fiber to one output fiber using a moving shutter between fixed collimators.
The SPDT switch provides channel selection from one input fiber to two output fibers using a moving prism between fixed collimators.
The Transfer switch provides channel selection from two input fibers to two output fibers using a moving prism between fixed collimators.
The prism switches are actuated electrically and they operate independently of data rate and signal format.
