Overview
The Sercalo SCBU is a bidirectional NxM matrix optical MEMS switch. It is an opto-mechanical switch with a coaxial design, in which a matrix of MEMS mirrors redirects light from N inputs to M outputs.
The optical network can be a strictly nonblocking matrix, from 4x4 up to 16x16 ports, or a tree structure with up to 1x1116 ports. Custom networks are also available.
The miniature package is designed for rugged environments and can be mounted directly on printed circuit boards. According to the manufacturer, the MEMS technology gives low insertion loss and low crosstalk between channels, and switching performance stays constant over the life of the switch.
The MEMS are hermetically sealed and the collimators are laser welded, which supports a broad operating temperature range and long-term stability. The SCBU is designed to conform to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards, and there is no epoxy in the optical path.
