The WA is a revolutionary optical relay that uses tried and tested electromechanical coil actuated movement to precisely position a prism to redirect a light signal to the chosen fibre-optic path. The WA relay reliably controls wavelengths of 1310 and 1550nm and is available in SPDT and transfer contact arrangements. At a compact 31 x 16 x 9mm the WA relay occupies a minimum of space and its height is kept below 10mm.
Operation of the coil for the WA relay is a latching function; either single or twin coil using as little as 150mW during the trigger pulses.
The WA relay is a PCB mounting device for the coil control with connectors for the fibre optics on flying leads in either SC/AdPC or MU/AdPC configurations.
The WA optical switch will typically be used in applications covering network monitoring, communications and optical measurement equipment.
