Optical Switches

Optical switches are devices that control the flow of light signals in fiber optic networks. They can connect, disconnect, or reroute light signals without converting them to electrical signals, enabling fast and efficient data transfer. Used in telecommunications and data centers, optical switches improve network flexibility and capacity by directing light signals seamlessly between different paths, ensuring data reaches the right destination quickly and reliably. They play a crucial role in managing high-speed internet and communication systems with minimal signal loss.
