OSS Quantum Series

DiCon’s Optical Switching System (OSS) is an all-optical non-blocking cross-connect switch. This rack-mount device is designed with DiCon’s proprietary 3D MEMS mirror technology and delivers industry-leading optical performance. The unit works without any position sensor or feedback loop, and the optical signals can pass through the equipment without any observable dithering artifacts. The OSS can switch repeatedly with great accuracy and maintain long-term connectivity with superior stability even when there is no optical signal in the fiber.

The chassis is compact, taking minimal rack space. It is also lightweight and can be picked up easily for installation. The OSS comes with multiple control interfaces so authorized administrators can automate network management and set user permissions in a Software Defined Network (SDN). This product can be ordered in standard simplex or duplex configurations, and customized port arrangements are available upon request. Optical power monitors and attenuators can be added to each path as options.

The OSS Quantum Series has better optical performance compared to the standard OSS Network Series in the area of insertion loss, back reflection, and connection stability. To deliver such an exceptional achievement, each unit in this series must go through additional manufacturing refinement processes and extra calibration steps. Users of DiCon’s “Quantum Switches” can be assured these products offer the best-in-class performance and will have the least chance of dropping or disturbing the precious photons in the paths.
