How do Fiber Optic Switches Work?
To evaluate GE-PON systems used for FTTH networks, optical characteristics and IP traffic tests are performed. Since a GE-PON consists of OLTs and multiple ONUs, efficient measurement of multiple ports is required. Utilizing the multiple port AQ2200-4xx high speed optical switch makes it possible to build an efficient automated measurement system by distributing the signal in a custom test network. With the fiber optical switch module, a multi-fiber loss measurement system can be easily configured.
