optical power levels and the optical trip threshold levels.
x Additional flexibility via forced manual channel selection.
x Two displays and adjustment pots provide viewing and
adjustment of the desired optical trip threshold and actual
fiber optical power levels.
x Provides an automatic fiber switching function for redun-
dant protection of optical signal.

Volts AC power supply.
The Force Model 5615 Optical A/B Switch pro-
vides an automatic fiber switching function for
redundant protection of optical signals. Each
fiber’s optical signal power level is monitored, as
is an adjustable optical trip threshold for each
channel. If the primary fiber’s optical signal
power level falls below the desired optical trip
threshold, the unit automatically switches to the
secondary fiber, thus eliminating the need for
intervention of a system operator. Returning to
the primary fiber is automatic when the signal on
fiber 1 is restored. The disabled path selection
switch in auto mode prevents path 2 from being
set at the primary fiber. Additional flexibility is
added via forced manual channel selection. This
feature expands the functionality of the redun-
dant unit. For example, the user could not pro-
vide unique signals to each channel and switch
between each as desired. The Model 5615 adds
stability to many system applications, such as
WDM networks, high-speed communications,
and long-haul telecommunications.
