Optical Switch Tray
OST
Multimode Optical Switch Tray
The Polatis OST family of multimode optical switch trays
utilizes the DirectLight beam-steering technology, delivering
high performance in a compact, fully non-blocking,
multimode product.
The multimode OST can form the integral part of a resilient
network, for connection management in a business
continuity setting or as part of a shipboard communication
system. Since there is no regeneration, no signal monitoring
and no signal modulation is introduced, the
OST is a secure node for carrying sensitive communications.
With its low loss, very high repeatability and low crosstalk,
the multimode OST is a perfect fit for testing of Fibre Channel
and GigE interfaces as part of an automation strategy.
DirectLight® Technology
All Polatis products are based on the patented DirectLight
beam-steering technology, setting the benchmark for reliable,
high performance switching.
The OST is available in both symmetric (NxN) and
asymmetric (MxN) port configurations, provided in a
standard 19" rack mount enclosure. Users can select
either 50 micron or 62.5 micron cores.
Polatis also offers Fixed port and Reconfigurable single
mode OST products, as well as a range of optical switch
modules and standard backplane optical cards.
