3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switch (OCS)

Date: 2019-09-29 15:02:04

01. What is 3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switch (OCS)
3D MEMS optical circuit switch (OCS) is a proprietary optical switch that allows any of the inputs to connect to any of the outputs in a non-blocking optical cross-connect configuration. This innovative design is based on arrays of industry proven MEMS mirrors, which redirect light from the input fibers to the requested output fibers.

Item 3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switch Conventional Optical Switch
Switch Capacity Max: (320x320)x2
 		 Max: 1x128
 
Type Insertion Loss
 		 1.5dB for 320x320 way
 		 2.0dB for 1x128 way
 
Repeatability ≥10^12
 		 ≥10^7
 
Optical Power Monitoring
 		 YES
Power monitoring on every port		 No

Comparison table (2)
Item
 		 3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switch Conventional Fiber Optic Terminal Box
Flexibility Allows any of the inputs to connect to any of the outputs in a non-blocking optical cross-connect configuration
 		 10K fibers coming in, 10K fibers going out, need 10K patch cord in a typical 3000sq-ft fiber distribution center
 
Automation
 		 Build-in input and output optical power monitors enable one snap view (remotely) of all connection failures
 		 One fiber connection failure -> 4 possible check points without any build-in monitoring/alarms (manual checks required)
OPEX
 		 Dramatically reduce troubleshooting time and labor -> Reduce OPEX
 		 Man hours/days of troubleshooting when a failure occurs
