OSM
Optical Switch Module
The Polatis OSM family is a series of high performance, fully
non-blocking optical switch modules. Designed for OEM
integration, the OSM is an ideal product where small size
and superior optical performance are required. All drive and
control electronics are provided, with options for either serial
RS-232 or a high speed interface.
Easily integrated onto standard telecom blades, the small
form-factor OSM forms the key element of a reconfigurable
optical core. Whether used for hybrid OEO/OOO network
switches, IP over optical or client-side switching, the OSM
provides fast and reliable reconfiguration, with absolute
minimal impact on pre-engineered loss
budgets. The OSM is also well suited to integrated test
systems and for component & module manufacturing test.
The OSM is available in both symmetric (NxN) and
asymmetric (MxN) port configurations, with package
options allowing for either Normal or Extended operating
environments.
DirectLight^® Technology
All Polatis products are based on the patented DirectLight
beam-steering technology, setting the benchmark for
reliable, high performance switching.
Polatis also offers multimode OSM and Reconfigurable
single mode OSM products, as well as a range of rack-
mount optical switch systems and standard backplane
optical cards.
