Half the height of the current product line, the Glimmerglass System 600 low profile, high density system is a dramatic improvement for developers of both commercial networks and mission-critical systems for government and defense.

Glimmerglass developed the System 600 for size and power-constrained environments that require reliable, remotely controlled management. Housed in a 4 rack unit (RU) chassis and operating with less power than a light bulb, the new System 600 supports a range of ports up to 160x160 with integrated optical power level monitoring, variable optical attenuation, and photonic multicasting.

System operators of commercial networks, mission-critical defense systems, advanced optical testing facilities and high-performance research networks rely on Glimmerglass to connect, monitor and manage light streams on optical fibers. Each Glimmerglass Intelligent Optical Switch delivers low loss, any-to-any fiber connections without regenerating optical signals so that customers can manage 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, radio frequencies (RF), microwaves, analog and digital video.

Glimmerglass develops and manufactures intelligent optical switches that transform the way fiber-optic connections are managed and switched at the physical layer.
