Product catalog summary
Overview
The MICROSENS Fiber Protection Switch is designed to enhance the reliability and reduce maintenance costs of fiber optic networks. It ensures the availability of critical infrastructures by protecting network integrity from blackouts and system failures.

Key Features
  • Compliance with service level agreements and legal specifications.
  • Technical risk avoidance through additional redundancies.
  • Cost reduction by minimizing network junctions affected by failures.
  • Decreased maintenance costs through uninterrupted maintenance and repair.
  • Increased availability of ring and bus topologies via optical bypass during system failures.
  • Protocol and manufacturer agnostic due to passive optical connectivity.
  • Robust design with high temperature resistance and no configuration required.
  • Alarm relays for external alarm systems.

Applications
The switch is suitable for harsh environments and is used in various sectors such as energy production, automated technology, traffic management, and mining. It supports the maintenance of network operations even when multiple nodes fail, ensuring communication continuity.

Installation Scenarios
  • Ring Topologies: Enhances fault tolerance in industrial and energy fields, allowing maintenance without disrupting the entire network.
  • Bus Topologies: Provides additional redundancy, maintaining communication beyond failed network components.

Benefits
  • Optimizes maintenance processes by allowing simultaneous maintenance of multiple plants.
  • Reduces production downtimes in automated technology by safeguarding fiber optic rings.
  • Increases reliability in traffic management systems by preventing operational stations from being cut off during blackouts.
  • Ensures reliable operation in mining environments by avoiding failure-prone technologies.

Conclusion
The MICROSENS Fiber Protection Switch is a cost-effective solution for enhancing the resilience and reliability of fiber optic networks across various industries, ensuring continuous operation even under challenging conditions.

How many single points of failure can you afford? This question is asked more and more by those responsible for risk and change management with regard to growing conformity requirements. MICROSENS Fiber Protection Switch supports companies in cost effectively assuring the availability of the fiber optic infrastructures used and their associated mission critical systems. Through optical bypasses, the switch increases the tolerance of fiber optic networks regarding both single and multi point failures and limits the effects of a brownout or complete system outage. If, for example, a failure at...

Due to the distances achievable with fiber optic cabling, its availability is now more commonplace where the monitoring of measuring data is transmitted more reliably over longer distances, for example when connecting signal and traffic information systems along motorways or railway lines. MICROSENS Fiber Protection Switch Contrary to fiber optic networks within ring topologies, bus topologies offer no additional resilience. If a single network component is affected by a failure or brownout, then communication with the network components behind the failed component is no longer possible. This...
