Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    • Description

    Fiber Optic Network Bypass Switch, Multimode ST®


    Quick Facts

  • Helps ensure maximum uptime for fiber network devices.
  • Switches data automatically to bypass a failed node in an optical ring network.

    • Further Details

  • Durable and reliable. Tested to more than 1,000,000 cycles.
  • Includes two power supplies; supports redundant power.
  • Operates transparent to data rates, protocols, and formats.
  • Simple to set up and use.

    • This reliable non-latching optical switch automatically and seamlessly switches data in order to bypass a failed node on an optical ring network.

    Easy to set up, the switch has two network downstream ports and two upstream network ports (N1 and N2), and two "customer" (C1 and C2) ports. When active, each of the two full-duplex ports on the network side link to their respective ports on the customer side of the switch.

    However, if power fails or is removed from the attached device, the Fiber Optic Network Bypass Switch automatically connects the network ports together and disconnects the two customer ports. This way, data bypasses the customer equipment, with the optical network ring passing data to the next node on the network.

    When power is restored, the network ports reconnect automatically to their respective customer ports.
