QuickSwitch® Model 6286 Fiber Optic Mirror A/B Switch, 1300 nm SC Duplex, Multimode with Remote Control
Overview
The QuickSwitch® Model 6286 Multimode SC Duplex A/B, 1300 nm all optical
switch, is designed with fiber optic mirror/prism technology and
supports gigbit data rates. The signal is received by the unit as
an optical signal over the fiber strand, is redirected by mirror/
prism mechanisms, and leaves the unit as an optical signal over
a fiber strand.
The Model 6286 allows a fiber optic device connected to
the unit’s SC Duplex COMMON connector to access
either of the two fiber optic networks connected to the
A, B ports. Switch position can be changed via an A/B
front-panel pushbutton, or by a serial RS232 device connected to
the rear panel Remote port. If power to the Model 6286 is lost,
the unit will default to the A position and continue to pass data.
FEATURES OF THE MODEL 6286 SC DUPLEX MIRROR SWITCH:
- Access either of two SC Duplex Fiber Optic networks from one computer connected to an SC Duplex COMMON port.
- The switch ports are transparent to all data.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology and support Gigabit data rates.
- Front panel pushbutton control.
- Remote Control 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.
- Password Protected Remote Control
- Front panel LED’s display present position and power status.
- All A, B, and COM ports are SC Duplex, Multi-mode, 62.5/125 micron, and support a wavelength of 1300nm.
- If power to the Model 6286 is lost, the unit will default to the A position and continue to pass data.
- When power is restored, the unit remains in the A position.
- Municipalities, schools, government: This product on GSA Schedule!
- For a similar switch with a Keylock Option available, see Model 6286K, Catalog No. 306186K.
