Fiber Optic AB Switch with Isolated Position with 2 SC/1 ST Connectors
Model: 5100622
Used to connect one workstation between two networks, or to other remote devices
Provides a keylock on the front panel that prevents the network connection through the switch from being changed when the keylock is in the Disable position
Front panel rotary style knob allows the user to switch between a classified network connection and an unclassified network connection
Switch operates with a unique internal switching mechanism
Technique eliminates the need to convert between optical signals and electrical signals to do the switching and is therefore transparent to data rates and protocols
The latching fiber optic ABC switch is a full-duplex optical switch. It can be used to connect one workstation between two networks or to other remote devices. It provides a keylock on the front panel that prevents the network connection through the switch from being changed when the keylock is in the
Disable position. A front panel rotary style knob allows the user to switch between a Classified network connection and an Unclassified network connection or to an Isolated position where no connection exists between any of the ports on the Latching Fiber Optic ABC Switch. The switch operates with a unique internal switching mechanism. When you turn the rotary knob on the front of the switch to select a network, the internal switching mechanism redirects a light beam from one network port to the other network port by rotating a gold-plated, spherical mirror. This technique eliminates the need to convert between optical signals and electrical signals to do the switching, and is therefore transparent to data rates and protocols. Front panel-mounted LEDs indicate when Power has been applied to the switch, and which port (Classified or Unclassified) is connected to the Common port, or if the Common port has been disconnected from both networks (Isolated). A second DC power supply is included with the switch for use in applications where a secondary source of power is desired for use as a backup in the event that the primary power source fails.
