MXS-9200 - MEMS optical switch

Manufactured by DiCon exclusively for EXFO, the MXS-9200 MEMS optical switch is a stand-alone rack-mountable chassis, from 1U to 3U for configurations up to 64x64 and larger chassis supporting up to 192x192 ports and beyond.

The MXS-9200 enhanced platform utilizes DiCon Fiberoptics’ industry proven MEMS optical switch technology to reliably connect input and output ports for a wide range of test and measurement applications. Available with either non-blocking MxN matrix switches, or with an array of blocking 1xN optical switches, the MXS-9200 is the industry standard for sharing centralized instruments or automated testing on multiple devices in development, qualification, and production testing. 

The MXS-9200 switch components are produced based on the latest generation of DiCon’s proprietary and proven MEMS tilting-mirror technology. This MEMS mirror platform has been built into millions of components for the optical networking industry and comes with a 20 plus years of field deployment record. These 3D MEMS Matrix Switches are extremely stable and can operate under open-loop conditions. They have the best-in-the-class durability, repeatability, and optical performance, suitable for even the most demanding applications including quantum communications and computing and other quantum applications.

With its remote-control capabilities using fast SCPI over Ethernet, the MXS-9200 is the perfect solution for sharing high-cost centralized instruments, scaling up qualification and manufacturing testing on multiple devices and other automated tests in manufacturing environments.

The MXS-9200 series is particularly well suited for testing a wide range of todays high-speed optical transceivers at all stages of development and manufacturing.
