To further protect mission-critical services, the POLATIS 576 can be equipped with field-addressable spare ports, so that an outage on any port can be quickly avoided by moving the fiber to a spare port and reassigning the port via software.

The new POLATIS high-performance, high-density optical switching platform offers maximum connectivity and reliability with low optical losses and fast switching speeds, even for the most demanding applications.

The 576x576 non-blocking fiber port array allows operators to remotely connect a greater number of fibers in a compact form factor for applications such as cybersecurity and network monitoring, test lab automation, and data center cross-connects. The POLATIS 576 variant with MPO connectors occupies only 8RU of valuable rack space.

The POLATIS 576 low-loss optical switch utilizes the patented DirectLightTM dark fiber transparent optical switching platform, proven in the most demanding data center, telecom, testing and defense applications for more than two decades.

With support for software-defined networking (SDN) via integrated NETCONF and RESTCONF interfaces, POLATIS optical circuit switches are 100 times more energy efficient than conventional electronic switching equipment and enable dynamic routing, monitoring, protection, and testing of real-time traffic directly at the fiber layer with light-speed data latency.
