The OBS+OP+5050D optical protection switch and 50-50 power splitter represent integral parts of an end-to-end optical fiber network design, and provide path redundancy and network resiliency.
The 50-50 power splitter and protection switch are critical in redundant-path optical fiber network design or for optical signal monitoring purposes where the power budget allows for a 50% loss of power.
