Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules

Wavelength Selective Switches (WSS) provide agility in optical networks via their ability to reconfigure traffic and enable bandwidth sharing at the optical layer. Molex offers WSS products in Single- and Twin- formats, with port counts ranging from Single 1x2 to Twin 1x32+ products.

Overview


Molex offers unique capabilities in the Low Port-Count portfolio with a stable digital MEMS based platform that allows flexible channel spacing and provides integrated optical channel monitoring (OCM) functions.

For Twin High-Port Count WSS, Molex uses Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology to enable low-loss, flexible switching with extremely flat filter functions that enable industry-leading multi-node cascading in metro, regional and long-haul networks.
