What is Fiber Switch?
A fiber switch is a telecommunication device that receives a message from any device connected to it and then transmits the message only to the device for which the message was meant. Normally, multiple data cables are plugged into a fiber switch to enable communication between different networked devices. The bandwidth of such a switch is essentially that of the bandwidth of the fiber itself and extremely high data rates are therefore possible. There are many applications of optical switch such as provisioning of the optical paths, protection switching, high-speed packet-switched networks, and modulators.
The market study is broken down by Type (Fast Ethernet switch, Gigabit Ethernet switch, Ten Gigabit Ethernet switch and Others), by Application (IP Cameras, Remote Monitoring and Control, Access Points, Door Controls, Automation Equipment and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
