OPTICALLY CONNECT A WORKSTATION or device to three other devices or networks. The QuickSwitch 4186 is a fiber-optic ST duplex interface A/B/C switch. It has a multimode duplex fiber connector interface on the A, B, C, and common ports. The internal circuitry ensures isolation between the A, B and C devices or networks. A front-panel button changes the switch position, eliminating the need to plug and unplug fiber patchcords. Switch-position status is displayed on the front panel LEDs. The standard unit also includes an RS-232 serial supervisory port, allowing a terminal or computer in terminal mode to communicate with the unit, determine its status, change the switch position as desired, and/or lockout front panel switching capability. A modem can also be connected to this port for password protected remote access to the switch.--Electro Standards Laboratories
