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.
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.
