Black Box SW1036A Fiber Optic A/B Desktop Switch

Description

The Black Box SW1036A is a fiber optic A/B desktop switch featuring three SC single-mode connector pairs and a unique all-optical micro-mirror switching mechanism . Unlike conventional electronic fiber switches that require optical-to-electrical conversion, this switch uses an internal mirror to optically move data between ports – technology that is trusted and time-tested. This approach eliminates the complexity and vulnerabilities of electronic fiber switches, including complex electronic circuits that require monitoring and protection from intrusion, component failure, or interference. The latching mechanism maintains the selected switch position even when power fails, ensuring continuous network connectivity during outages . The switch is ideal for mission-critical fiber network applications where reliability and security are paramount. The desktop form factor allows easy placement on workbenches or in equipment racks. The SW1036A comes with a 1-Year Double Diamond Warranty from Black Box.
