Series 6000 Optical Matrix Switches

The 6000 series consists of the highest performance single-mode switches, which are completely non-blocking and available in all variations from 4x4 to 192x192 channels (higher channel count available upon request). Designed for the highest performance and reliability, this series meets the highest demands and applications with very low insertion loss, a compact size, low power consumption, and fast switching times. With the support of software-defined networking (SDN) with an integrated OpenFlow and NETCONF interface, this product series enables extremely short latency times for time-critical network traffic. This is necessary for the new virtual cloud services in hybrid optical-packet data centers.

The patented DirectLight^® optical switching technology has proven itself many times in highly demanding applications in data centers, telecommunications applications, and in the military/defense sector. Large system manufacturers also use this technology to automate their test landscapes for optical components and subsystems.
