MEMS Ultra-Mini 1x2, 2x2
Fiber Optical Switch
Protected by US Patent 20170184840A1 and World Wide Patent PCT/US2015/022117

Product DescriptionFeatures• High Reliability• Direct DC drive• Ultra Small• ESD Insensitive

The MEMS Ultra-Mini Series Fiber Optical Switch uses a patented thermal activated micromirror, moving-in and -out optical paths, uniquely featuring high stability over wide
temperature range without compensation, small size and very long life cycle. The thermal
MEMS is insensitive to moisture and ESD without drift issues, providing a high reliability
platform for over 25 years continuous operation. The ultra-mini series switches are configured
in 1x1, Dual 1x1, Quad 1x1, 1x2, Dual 1x2, Full 2x2, and Dual Full 2x2 with single or multimodefibers. The Ultra-Mini switches are Telcordia standards GR1221 qualified.
Agiltron provides customized design and modular assemblies to meet control and integration
applications.

10 9 Switching Cycle Test
We have tested MEMS 1x2 switch at the resonant frequency ~300Hz for morethan 40 days, as shown in the attachment, which corresponding over 10 9switching cycles. The measurements show little changes in Insertion loss,Cross Talk, Return loss ect, all parameters are within our specs.
