The S320
Key Features
The S320 switches light entirely within the photonic domain. The S320 does not have or need optical transceivers which enables the S320 to deliver the lowest cost per bit of any switching technology or device available in the market.
Every in/out
fiber is monitored, providing powerful network diagnostic capabilities. A compact size of 17.5”w x 12.2”h x 19”d (445 x 310 x 483 mm) with Weight: 45 lbs. (20.5kg).
The S320 allows any port to be connected to any port, resulting in a fully non-blocking switch array. Ports can be switching in less than 50 ms. The entire switching fabric can be configured in less that 200 ms.
The S320 does not convert the data path from optical to electrical which results in no introduced delay or jitter. The latency of the S320 is only 30ns.
With a typical insertion loss less than 1.5dB, Calient’s 3D MEMS technology provides the lowest insertion loss of any large port count switching fabric.
