XENOptics delivers an edge data-center optical switch that automates cross-connects at the rack top. Built for 5G edge fiber automation and micro data-center rollouts, our robotic platform removes truck rolls and human error while meeting NEBS 3 and ETSI 300019 Class 3.2; temperature transitions are qualified per IEC 60068-2-14:2023.*
Our patented 3D optical switching with passive latching keeps live services up—even through power events—so edge sites can be stood up, reconfigured, and protected without sending staff onsite.
*Per internal guidance, cite IEC 60068-2-14:2023 for temperature testing; use UPC return-loss values and connectorized insertion-loss figures.
Edge locations—MEC nodes, smart campuses, remote PoPs—share the same operational reality: frequent change, limited space, and no time for manual patching. Traditional ODFs create three chronic risks:
XENOptics replaces manual cross-connects with non-blocking, robotic optical switching you command remotely. A passive latching design holds lightpaths mechanically, so established circuits remain up during outages; an onboard super-capacitor safely completes an in-flight state change on loss of power. Pair the switch with our web-based NMS for authenticated workflows, topology-aware path planning, live views, and full audit logs—all accessible through RESTful API and SNMPv3.
Bottom line: deploy once, then operate every fiber move remotely with carrier-class repeatability.

Fronthaul/backhaul needs deterministic fiber operations at the cell edge. XSOS brings motor-grade repeatability to cross-connects, enabling automated turn-ups, traffic-safe rehomes, and clean maintenance windows. This enables predictable 5G edge fiber automation for dense RAN and transport domains.

Colo and enterprise teams standardize rack-top robotic fiber switch deployments across many small rooms. With connectorized, field-replaceable modules and latched lightpaths, you scale racks faster and standardize micro data-center fiber infrastructure across sites—without manual patching variability.
Carriers gain zero-touch edge-to-core optical switching with authenticated, auditable workflows. XENOptics NMS offers a topology view, path computation, connection/disconnection queues, multi-user administration, customer portals, and end-to-end logs—integrated via RESTful API and SNMPv3.
Forward-deployed compute needs equipment that survives the environment and the op tempo. Passive-latched optics and standards compliance provide the rugged baseline; robotic switching eliminates on-site patching and preserves uptime in contested conditions.
What is a rack-top robotic fiber switch?
A motorized optical cross-connect installed at the rack top. It replaces manual patching so teams can switch fiber paths remotely with consistent optical performance and full auditability.
How does passive latching protect traffic during power loss?
The mechanism physically holds the optical path in place. If power fails mid-action, a super-capacitor completes the state—while established circuits remain lit via the latch.
Is the platform qualified for harsh edge sites?
Yes. The family aligns to NEBS 3 and ETSI 300019 Class 3.2; temperature transitions are addressed per IEC 60068-2-14:2023 guidance.
The edge is where latency budgets are won and OPEX is lost. XENOptics turns fiber into a programmable asset: robotic, standards-hardened, and engineered for edge data-center optical switch deployments. From MEC fiber connectivity to edge-to-core optical switching, you get service agility without the truck rolls—and uptime without the anxiety.
