Fiber Optic Switches
Engineered for the Practical
- Single and Multiple Inputs
- From 2 to 128 Channels
- Singlemode, Multimode and PM Fiber
- Front panel and remote control
High Performance Optical
Bola Fiber Optic Switches are highly-reliable and provide fast, repeatable and stable settings over a lifetime of use. Bola switches can be controlled from the front panel or remotely in bench top, rack mount, and integrated test platforms with user-defined configurations.
