Multi Channel Optical Switch
“A 1xN multi-channel optical switch is a device used to control light paths, allowing switching between multiple fiber optic channels. In fiber optic transmission systems, it can be used for channel monitoring, selecting between multiple light sources or detectors, and providing path protection. It is also commonly used in fiber optic testing systems, including component testing, outdoor cable testing, and monitoring multi-port optical sensor networks.”
