MeMs 4x4 MuLtICast swItCh
DiCon’s MEMS 4x4 Multicast Switch is based on DiCon’s proven
MEMS 1xN Switch. Input signals are first broadcast via 1x4 optical
splitters into four optical switches, which are then used to inde-
pendently route network traffic from any input to any or all output
ports. The MEMS Multicast Switch is bi-directional and may be
used to route traffic in the opposite direction as well. Each switch
receives an input and selects one of the four splitters to receive
traffic for broadcast to the network. The MEMS Multicast Switch is
ideal for use in ROADM networks for add/drop multiplexing.
Features
< 20 ms Switching Time
Compact Form Factor
Excellent Thermal Stability
Proven MEMS Durability and Reliability

The MEMS Multicast Switch allows network operators to split and
dynamically route network traffic between four inputs and four out-
puts within add/drop banks in ROADM networks. Its bi-directional
feature allows for flexible and dynamic traffic routing for tomorrow’s
reconfigurable networks.

1. Specifications are without connectors.
2. IL is measured at CWL, 23ºC.
3. IL is for standard opaque model.
4. IL is for single-band. Dual band adds 0.2 dB.
5. Power off isolation is same as cross talk. -35 dB max. for hitless
switching.
6. WDL is measured in a +/- 20nm range at 23ºC.
7. Repeatability is defined after 100 cycles.
