The basic form of mechanical optical switch is 2X2, which means there are two optical fibers at the inlet and outlet. Typically, it can complete two connection states: parallel connection and cross connection. Optical switching unit with more channels can be composed of the basic 2X2 optical switch and the corresponding 1X2 optical switch cascaded and combined.
