Fiber bypass module and its adapted in-line equipment

摘要

A fiber bypass module and its adapted in-line equipment are provided. The fiber bypass module has an optical switch, a plurality of connectors, and a circuit substrate with an electrical signal control connector exposed. The electrical signal control connector may be plugged to the socket of the in-line equipment to receive the electrical control signal sent from the in-line equipment. The optical switch is provided on the circuit substrate and the electrical signal control connector is electrically connected with the optical switch such that the received electrical control signal is transmitted to the optical switch to execute the switching mode of the optical switch. Each of the plurality of connectors may be extended remotely to connect optical transceivers and optical network equipments, so that the optical transceivers and the fiber network equipments do not have to be provided at the same place as the in-line equipment.
