VOA MEMS Optical Switch

The mm series voa is based on a proprietary micro-electro-mechanical mechanism featuring compact design, simple construction, easy direct drive, and excellent optical performance. The mm series voa is compliant with the telcordia 1209 and 1221 reliability standards. The mm series voa is available in either normally-open or normally-closed configurations and with an integrated tap option. The voa is driven by applying an electrical voltage.
