What Is a Fiber Switch?
A fiber switch is a specialized device for managing optical signals in fiber optic cables.
It comes in two primary types: multi-mode fiber switches and single-mode fiber switches, each designed to work with the corresponding type of fiber optic cable. A fiber switch’s core functions include rerouting optical signal paths, modulating transmission speeds, and enhancing signal transmission quality.
These switches find extensive use in various sectors, such as data center operations for connecting servers and storage devices, enterprise networking equipment, and industrial settings for linking production machinery. Their pivotal role lies in boosting data communication speeds and expanding network capacity.
