The Model EOS-6000 Optical A/B Switch series product line is a

high performance solution for network protection and optical

redundancy. Packaged in a convenient 1RU housing, this line of

optical switches provides an automatic or manual fiber switching

function to protect the network from inadvertent service outages

due to up-stream optical signal degradation. Each fiber’s optical

signal power level is continuously monitored, as is an adjustable

optical trip threshold for each channel. If the primary fiber’s optical

signal power level falls below the desired optical trip threshold, the

unit automatically switches to the secondary fiber, thus eliminating

the need for intervention of a system operator. The EOS-6000 is

capable of manual switching or can be switched remotely via

SNMP adding optical protection to many system applications.

The EOS-6000 series is designed as a low power, cost effective,

high performance switching solution for applications that demand

reliable and rapid response to changing network conditions.
