The Polatis I-OST-32X32-FU1-GSANS is a 32×32 optical matrix switch engineered for dynamic network routing and test automation. Utilizing patented DirectLight® beam-steering technology, this all-optical switch delivers fully non-blocking connectivity with protocol and bit-rate independence. The architecture supports bi-directional operation across dark or lit fiber, making it ideal for flexible test environments, equipment sharing, and network-layer verification without signal regeneration.
