FiberSwitch™
FOS-01The first fiber optic switch for hazardous areas. It opens up new fields of application for fiber optics as well as introducing a new method of controlling electrical devices. The FiberSwitch™ outperforms electrical switches in many applications such as remote control over long distances in hazardous locations. Available with a variety of operators.
Customize
- Absolutely safe for installation in hazardous areas, as it eliminates the ignition source.
- Immune to EMI/RFI and high voltage power lines.
- Optical signal eliminates electrocution and fire hazard.
- Low overall installation cost as fiber optic cable is less costly than copper cable.
- Can be installed up to 2.5Km away from equipment it controls.
- Unique fail safe feature that opens its NC contacts if the fiber optic contact block comes off the operator.
- Stackable optical contact blocks up to two tiers.
- Allows for multiple Fiber Optic Switches to be daisy chained.
