Apex AP3344 Optical Switch Module


The AP3344 optical switch modules are designed for multiplatform integration. The four standard modules provide 1×2, 1×4, 1×8, and 2×2 switches with low insertion loss and excellent repeatability. Other models can also be customized according to the user’s request. AP3344 provides very low crosstalk between channels. Thanks their fast switching time (max 10 ms) and broad wavelength range (1290~1330 nm and 1525~1610 nm), these bidirectional switches are ideal companions to our extensive line of DWDM and CWDM Laser Diode Sources. The modules are supplied in a compact package incorporating all required drive and control electronics.
