Pickering 40-860-012 MEMS Optical Insert/Bypass Switch
The Pickering 40-860-012 insert/bypass switch is a dedicated fiber switch module solution that works as a single 2x2 module. It uses an internal MEMS structure that supports stable switching across defined operational wavelengths. The design achieves high density installation by offering a compact one slot width hardware print. The switch supports FC/APC/PC/LC and MU connectors for flexible interface requirements needs. The unit also supports multimode transmission across the complete 700 to 1700 nm operational range spectrum. It provides typical insertion loss of 0.8 dB within its standard 2x2 switching configuration profile. The return loss reaches a minimum value of 55 dB which enhances signal reliability during operation cycles. Crosstalk performance remains around -60 decibels which supports improved isolation for precise routing behavior. It delivers a switching time of one millisecond which supports rapid signal transitions.
The 40-860-012 switch uses multimode 62.5/125 fiber internally routing. The architecture supports polarization dependent loss not exceeding 0.05 decibels under load. Thermal stability remains within 0.2 decibels across -10 to 75 degrees. The switching structure maintains high repeatability within ±0.01dB variation under defined operating conditions. This level of control supports precise signal behavior across all switching states. The design ensures long operational life that exceeds 1×10â¹ cycles which strengthens deployment reliability. The MEMS engine provides consistent optical alignment that improves performance across specified load conditions. The mechanical design reduces environmental sensitivity which improves module stability across wide thermal gradients.
The Pickering 40-860-012 optical insert/bypass switch supports controlled bypass paths within network systems where deterministic routing is required. The unit delivers dependable switching logic that supports defined fiber arrangements. Its optical interfaces maintain accurate arrangement which ensures predictable loss behavior. The structure reduces reflective effects which enhances overall transmission quality within specific optical configurations. The switch supports defined wavelength operation from 1240 to 1640 nm which aids to align with fiber modes for targeted network implementation needs. The 40-860-012 can function with an extreme humidity that extends up to 90% at non-condensing conditions. The installation height requires 5000 m altitude without degrading overall functioning. The device provides defined optical balancing which limits deviation across engineered fiber pathways during operation.
