QuickSwitch® 6290 Fiber Optic Mirror A/B Switch, SC Duplex, Single Mode with RS232 & Contact Closure Remote
Overview
The QuickSwitch® 6290 Single Channel SC Duplex A/B Switch with RS-232 & Contact Closure Remote allows the user the capability of sharing a single port interface device, connected to the "COMMON" port, between two other devices, connected to the "A" and "B" ports. The QuickSwitch® 6290 is packaged in a compact desktop style enclosure. The switch may be controlled manually via a front panel pushbutton or remotely from the RS232 Serial port (DB9) located on the rear of the unit. Switch position status may be attained via the front panel LED display, or the REMOTE port located on the rear of the unit.

FEATURES OR THE MODEL 6290 SC DUPLEX FIBER SWITCH:
- The switch ports are transparent to all data.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology.
- Local control via front panel pushbutton
- The REMOTE port accepts both RS232 ASCII commands and Contact Closure to control switch position. Additionally, the REMOTE port accepts RS232 ASCII commands to lockout front panel operations and obtain switch status.
- Front panel LED's display switch position and power status.
- All A, B, and COMMON ports are SC Duplex, Single Mode, 9/125 micron, and support a wavelength of 1300nm.
- The fiber ports are configured per TIA/EIA-568-B.3, where the TX of the COM port is routed to the RX of the A/B ports and vice versa.
- When power is lost, the switch will maintain its position and continue to pass data.
- When power is restored, the unit will retain the same position in which it was at power down.
- Custom length rigorously tested and certified, SC fiber optic cables available for your switch installation.
- Municipalities, schools, government: This product is on GSA Schedule!
SC DUPLEX, SINGLE MODE A/B APPLICATION w/RS232 Serial Commands & CONTACT CLOSURE REMOTE:
The drawing illustrates a Fiber Optic Network connected to the SC Duplex, Single Mode COMMON port with access to two other Fiber Optic Networks connected to the SC Duplex, Single Mode A and B ports, respectively. The unit switch position can be controlled using RS232 ASCII or Contact Closure signals via the DB9 REMOTE port. The ASCII RS232 commands can be used to lockout front panel operations and obtain switch status.
