914-FOS Optical Card

FIBER OPTIC SWITCH

The 914-FOS card is a 2 x 1 fiber optic switch available in a standard 914-X series credit card size form-factor. When combined with a 914-SPLIT fiber optic splitter, they create a redundant fiber optic path for multiplexer systems and other optical data links.

The 914-FOS is a powered fiber optics card typically installed at the console end of the fiber optic link. It is controlled by either a manual onboard toggle switch or with a TTL compliant input signal. The 914-FOS will select one of the two fiber optic paths or outputs and route all communications to a single fiber.
