QuickSwitch® Model 4292 Single Channel LC Duplex A/B/C/D/Off-Line Switch, with RS232 Remote
Overview
The QuickSwitch® 4292 Single Channel LC Duplex A/B/C/D/Offline Switch with RS232 Remote allows the user the capability of sharing a single port interface device connected to the COMMON port among four other devices connected to the A, B, C, and D ports, or to isolate all ports in the OFFLINE position.
Remote access can be accomplished using a DB9 RS232 connection and ASCII serial commands. The QuickSwitch® 4292 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack.
FEATURES OF THE MODEL 4292 RS232 LC DUPLEX SWITCH:
- Allows quick connection to any one of four devices from one COMMON device.
- The switch ports are transparent to all data.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology.
- Front panel pushbutton control.
- Switch reverts to the Offline position on power loss and does not pass data.
- Upon power up, unit remains in the Offline position until commanded otherwise.
- No false pass through positions ensured by switching to the Offline position before switching to a new position.
- Remote RS232 ASCII command interface that allows the user to control switch position, lockout front panel operations, obtain switch status, as well as, query firmware version number, query serial number, and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.
- Remote control of the switch is password protected, where the password protection can be disabled.
- Front panel LED’s display present position and power status.
- All fiber optic ports are LC Duplex, Multimode, 50/125 micron, and support a wavelength of 850 nm.
- Custom length rigorously tested and certified, LC fiber optic cables are available for your switch installation.

LC DUPLEX A/B/C/D/OFFLINE APPLICATION WITH PASSWORD PROTECTED RS232 REMOTE:
The drawing illustrates a COMMON device connected to the LC Duplex COMMON port with access to any one of four devices connected to ports A, B ,C, or D. One connection between the LC Duplex COMMON port and one Device connected to either of Ports A, B, C or D. The user can also select an OFFLINE position which isolates data. The DB9 Remote port is PASSWORD PROTECTED and can be disabled. The unit can be controlled remotely via ASCII RS232 commands to control switch position, lockout front panel operations, and obtain switch status; query firmware version number, query serial number of the unit and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.
