Long-distance data transmission is a typical application of the WA optical relay, an optical switch that allows connecting single-mode fibers (9/125/900) in 1 x 2 and 2 x 2 configurations.It is characterized by dimensions of 31 mm x 16 mm x 9 mm, 60 dB isolation, and insertion loss of 1 dB maximum (0.5 dB typical) at a wavelength of 1550 nm.
Switching is performed by an optical prism in the path of the rays, which guarantees repeatability of less than 0.1 dB and a return loss of approximately 50 dB.
The control section uses a polarized and tested bistable magnetic system (1 or 2 coils) that requires only one pulse to switch and has no power consumption in its final state.
