External bypass switches

The ComNet CN-OB(M,S) external bypass switches for 100M/1G/10G fibre optic networks protect the network from failures and ensure network integrity during power loss. Each of these fibre optical bypass switches includes network ports and monitor ports. The network ports are used for connection to main-network connections and provide protection mechanism, and the monitor ports are used for a down-link local networking device. When the power is on, the operation mode of the bypass switch is set to normal, and the local networking device is connected with the main-network. When power failure occurs, the bypass switch is swiftly set to bypass mode to isolate the main-network from the local networking device.

• Supports 100M/1G/10G fibre optic networks .

• Auto bypass function during power failure.

• Bypass switching time < 10 ms.

• 2 port duplex or 4 port simplex fibre connection.

• Switch protection for network and monitor ports.

• Keeps traffic flowing without impacting the network.
