Series 6000 multimode

The POLATIS® Series 6000 family of multimode optical switches utilises the patented DirectLight™ beam-steering technology to deliver high performance in a compact, fully non-blocking, multimode product, in matrix sizes from 8 x 8 to 16 x 16.

The Series 6000 multimode switch is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding component, subsystem and system test applications. All-optical switching allows test equipment connections to be fully automated and controlled remotely 24/7 via software from virtually anywhere in the world. 

POLATIS patented DirectLight beam-steering technology holds dark fiber connections so test pathways can be pre-provisioned; it is transparent to signal format and transmission speeds so there is no need to upgrade as standards evolve

Its exceptionally low optical loss, high connection repeatability and fast switching times make it ideal for optical test applications. There is no need repeatedly to make and break fiber optic connections so more accurate measurement results can be achieved. 

It is now available with POLATIS full network interface capability including SDN with NETCONF and RESTCONF control interfaces and an advanced dynamic web GUI, and features dual hot-swap power supplies for added reliability.
