Classification and Application of Multimode Fiber Switches

The multimode fiber switch features address filtering, network segmentation, and intelligent alarm functionalities, which can improve network efficiency and operational reliability. The multimode fiber switch can achieve high-speed remote interconnection of computer data networks without a repeater over distances up to 5 kilometers. The product's performance is stable and reliable, its design adheres to Ethernet standards, and it includes lightning protection measures. The multimode fiber switch is particularly suitable for telecommunications, cable television, railways, military, financial securities, customs, civil aviation, maritime, power utilities, water conservancy, and oil fields, as well as various broadband data networks requiring high reliability data transmission or the setup of dedicated IP data networks. It is the ideal application device for broadband campus networks, broadband cable TV networks, and intelligent broadband communities with fiber to the building (FTTB) and fiber to the home (FTTH).

Types of Switches

According to the nature of the fiber, fiber optic switches can be classified into multimode fiber switches and single-mode fiber optic switches. Due to the different fibers used, the transmission distance of the fiber optic switch varies. Multimode fiber, because of its shorter transmission distance, can only cover approximately 2 to 5 kilometers. Therefore, the data transmission distance supported by multimode fiber switches is also relatively short, only being able to transmit data within the range of 2 to 5 kilometers.

Application Areas of Multimode Fiber Switches

Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) generally have denser networks and are not as dispersed as large enterprises, meaning the coverage area required by fiber optic switches does not need to be too large, which is a characteristic of multimode fiber switches. Additionally, most SMEs use a 100 Mbps network, so choosing a 100 Mbps multimode fiber switch will suffice to meet user needs.

Main Features of Multimode Fiber Switches

• Suitable for enterprises planning to upgrade from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps bandwidth

• Suitable for comprehensive multimedia data transmission networks such as image and voice

• Suitable for scenarios requiring point-to-point computer signal transmission

• Widely used in computer data transmission networks to meet various business needs

• Suitable for broadband campus networks, broadband cable TV networks, and intelligent community FTTB, FTTH data transmission

• Can combine with other computer network devices to establish various network topologies such as chain, star, and ring networks
