8-Port Fiber Bypass Switch Multimode LC Port Optical Protection DIN35 Mount
Industrial Multimode Optical Fiber Bypass Unit
Basic information of Bypass Module
- OM-FBS-22-MLC is an external fiber bypass switch for critical optical-nodes in optical network system.
- When intended or unexpected power loss occurs, it helps swiftly bypass the device it connects and avoids failure of the whole optical communication.
- Bypass switches are commonly used in some major optical networks involving ring connection and multiple devices such as in railway communication systems, factory automation and important optical nodes where fiber link failures are intolerable.

Product Query
What is an optical bypass switch?
A: It is also named a bypass TAP used for automatically switching faulty nodes when power outages or failures take place, this secures the complete optical transmission.
Where is it used?
A: It is mainly used to prevent network outages, protect the network or control the networking system in the optical telecommunication.
It can be used in ring or linear fiber network architectures such as railway communication systems, factory automation, and power substations.
Can your optical bypass units work with different switches?
A: Yes, this device is about the optical transmission level and not involving any network protocols.
It can work with any switches of different optical rates(100M/1G/2.5G/10G/25G/40G/100G).
Application of External bypass switch
- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
- Laboratory Research and Development
- System Monitoring
- Dynamic configuration of add/drop multiplexing
Connection of fiber bypass switch
Remarks
- The Fiber Bypass share the power supply with the fiber optic switch;
- The Fiber Bypass can exist in cascade or ring network environments;
- The Fiber Bypass is a power-off protection device, and the optical fiber can be switched only when the equipment is power-off.
LED status
- PWR: Power indicator of the device
- On: Power normal, Off: Power off/wrong
- SW1: Bypass operation status indicator 1
- SW2: Bypass operating status indicator 2
- A set of optical switches: SW1 or SW2 indicator (Random) will be lit
- Two sets of optical switches: SW1 and SW2 are lit at the same time

General Query
What is MoQ?
1 Pc/Pair.
For many models, we have stock, it is easy to send samples for your testing.
Can I have a discount?
Yes and it is usually based on quantity and after sample testing.
What is your warranty period?
For commercial models like fiber Ethernet media converter or fiber optic PoE switch, it is 1 year.
For industrial grade products, it is 3 years.
We do lifetime technical support if the models are from Olycom company.
Can I have my own packing box?
Yes, the standard packing box does have not have Chinese letters or logo.
Its fine to customize your own version like putting your logo, model name or slogans on it.
