OCS Optical Circuit Switch

Harness cutting-edge AI architectures through the power of Optical Circuit Switching (OCS).

 

By reducing reliance on electrical switches and streamlining optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversion processes, OCS delivers targeted optimizations for data center networks. This translates to substantial cost reductions, lower energy usage, and enhanced latency performance specifically tailored for GPU-based connectivity.

OCS optical switches are optical path controllers, It ultimately achieves strict non-blocking bidirectional cross-connections for N (input)*M (output) optical fiber routes, playing a crucial role in controlling and switching optical paths. They are essential in optical communication applications. Optical switches are primarily used in: multi-channel optical monitoring in optical transmission systems; automatic switching of multiple light sources/detectors in LANs; and multi-point dynamic monitoring systems for optical sensors; in optical testing systems for testing optical fibers, optical devices, networks, and optical cables in field projects; and for optical device assembly and adjustment.

OCS optical switches feature low insertion loss, fast switching speed, and high stability. They are equipped with an LCD display and buttons for easy user operation. They support RJ45 Ethernet communication interfaces and can be controlled by external programs. Management protocols supported include SNMP, TELNET, and other network protocols.
