MATRIX SWITCH
DiCon's 24x24 MEMS Matrix Switch is an integrated switch
module based on DiCon's MEMS 1x24 Switch. Forty-eight
MEMS 1x24 Switches, twenty-four for inputs and the other
twenty-four for outputs, are interconnected to form a fully
non-blocking, two stage, fan-out/fan-in Spanke Configuration.
Under this matrix switch platform, different MEMS 1xN
Switches can be used to form customized NxM Switch

A
PPLICATIONS
The MEMS 24x24 Matrix is used in an optical network to
dynamically configure the system. Mounting to any network
card is easily achieved with its small form factor and 1"
thickness. For Test and Measurement applications, the matrix
switch is a simplified alternative solution for cable management
and allows users to share resources.
