optical switch Module

The Polatis OSM family is a series of high performance, fully

non-blocking optical switch modules. Designed for OEM

integration, the OSM is an ideal product where small size

and superior optical performance are required. All drive and

control electronics are provided, with options for either serial

RS-232 or a high speed interface.

Easily integrated onto standard telecom blades, the small

form-factor OSM forms the key element of a reconfigurable

optical core. Whether used for hybrid OEO/OOO network

switches, IP over optical or client-side switching, the OSM

provides fast and reliable reconfiguration, with absolute

minimal impact on pre-engineered loss

budgets. The OSM is also well suited to integrated test

systems and for component & module manufacturing test.

The OSM is available in both symmetric (NxN) and

asymmetric (MxN) port configurations, with package

options allowing for either Normal or Extended operating

environments.

All Polatis products are based on the patented DirectLight

beam-steering technology, setting the benchmark for

reliable, high performance switching.

Polatis also offers multimode OSM and Reconfigurable

single mode OSM products, as well as a range of rack-

mount optical switch systems and standard backplane

optical cards.
