General

The OFP-4010 is a magnetic latching 2x2 changeover optical switcher using a high performance optical relay and optical level detectors. It is suitable for switching optical signals being run over single mode optical cable.

The OFP-4010 is arranged as a changeover switch with two inputs and two outputs. The latching characteristic of the high performance optical relay allows momentary control and also provides for no change of path during power loss.

Changeover switching is done either automatically, locally or remotely.

Optical detectors measure the optical power level and automatically switch the optical relay when signal strength falls below a dip switch selectable power level threshold set from -30 dBm to -5 dBm in 5 dBm steps.

Local switching is possible using front panel push button switches. Remote switching is possible using external normally open or normally closed alarms.

The OFP-4010 is ideally suited to applications where a simple choice between two inputs or outputs is required and may be easily driven by detector circuits for automatic path selection.

Remote indication of tally and alarms are provided for integration into central alarm and monitoring systems.

An optional SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) plug-in module is available for monitoring and control when used in an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.

The OFP-4010 is designed to fit IRT's 1RU and 4000 series 3RU Eurocard frames1 and may be used alongside any other of IRT's analogue or digital Eurocards.
