Fiber Optic SC Duplex A/B/Off-Line Switch, Application Note, QuickSwitch 6256

The QuickSwitch® 6256 Tri-Channel SC Duplex A/B/Offline fiber optic network switch with Contact Control Remote allows a device connected to the COM port access to the A or B port for each of its three channels.  Alternatively, the unit can be switched to its OFFLINE position and totally isolate connection to the A and B ports.  The QuickSwitch® 6256 fits in a standard 19" rack, taking 1U of rack space.  The switch may be controlled manually via the front panel pushbutton or remotely from a DB9 port located on the rear of the unit.  Switch position state may be attained via the front panel LED's.

Model 6256 QuickSwitch® Fiber Optic Switch Features:

  • Each of three channels allows quick connection to any one of two SC Duplex devices from one COMMON device.
  • OFFLINE switch position stops any and all data throughput for the unit.
  • Internal circuitry insures isolation between networks/devices.
  • MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology supports Gigabit data rates.
  • Service protocol transparent.
  • Bit-rate and data transparent.
  • All fiber ports are SC duplex, multimode 50/125 micron and support a wavelength of 850 nm.
  • Local control via front-panel pushbuttons.
  • Individual control of each channel.
  • Eliminates the need to plug and unplug fiber optic patchcords.
  • The Remote port accepts dry contact closure commands for switch position.
  • Front panel LED's display switch position and power status.
  • When power is lost, all channels revert to the Offline position.
  • When power is restored, all channels remain in the Offline position until commanded otherwise.
  • Custom length rigorously tested and certified, SC duplex fiber optic cables available for your switch installation.
