A fiber optic switch is an electronic device that allows multiple fiber optic cables to be connected and selectively route data between them. The switch receives data packets from one input fiber optic cable and forwards them to the appropriate output cable based on their destination. VERSITRON manufactures a wide range of fiber optic switches that provide links for your 10Base, 100Base, 1000Base Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit networks simultaneously. Various port sizes are available ranging from 4 up to 52 ports. Why Use Fiber Optic Internet? Before diving into the setup, let's quickly recap why fiber optics are worth the effort: Lightning-fast speeds (up to 1 Gbps or higher). There are no specific requirements for this document. Where switches simply block or pass optical signals on individual or multiple channels, multiplexers route multiple channels out to a single fiber optic cable.
