MEMS Optical Switch
Opneti's MEMS Optical Switches are based on integrated silicon MEMS technology and is available in 1x1, 1x2 and 2x2 switch architectures. Inside the switch package both the CMOS/TTL compatible driver. The plastic package is one of the smallest in the industry. It is optimized for low cost production while maintaining highest reliability comparable to a solid-state device. The component is designed to meet Telcordia 1221 quality standards.
