The QuickSwitch® 6256 Tri-Channel SC Duplex A/B/Offline fiber optic network switch with Contact Control Remote allows a device connected to the COM port access to the A or B port for each of its three channels. Alternatively, the unit can be switched to its OFFLINE position and totally isolate connection to the A and B ports. The QuickSwitch® 6256 fits in a standard 19" rack, taking 1U of rack space. The switch may be controlled manually via the front panel pushbutton or remotely from a DB9 port located on the rear of the unit. Switch position state may be attained via the front panel LED's.

Model 6256 QuickSwitch® Fiber Optic Switch Features:

• Each of three channels allows quick connection to any one of two SC Duplex devices from one COMMON device.
• OFFLINE switch position stops any and all data throughput for the unit.
• Internal circuitry insures isolation between networks/devices.
• MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology supports Gigabit data rates.
• Service protocol transparent.
• Bit-rate and data transparent.
• All fiber ports are SC duplex, multimode 50/125 micron and support a wavelength of 850 nm.
• Local control via front-panel pushbuttons.
• Individual control of each channel.
• Eliminates the need to plug and unplug fiber optic patchcords.
• The Remote port accepts dry contact closure commands for switch position.
• Front panel LED's display switch position and power status.
• When power is lost, all channels revert to the Offline position.
• When power is restored, all channels remain in the Offline position until commanded otherwise.
• Custom length rigorously tested and certified, SC duplex fiber optic cables available for your switch installation.
