Electrical Switching Cluster System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18496241 titled 'Electrical Switching Cluster System
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electrical switching cluster system that converts electrical signals into optical signals, multiplexes and demultiplexes optical signals of different wavelengths, and switches electrical signals for output.
- Input nodes perform electrical switching on electrical signals to obtain groups of first electrical signals, and convert one group into a multi-wavelength first optical signal.
- Intermediate nodes demultiplex first optical signals to obtain groups of second optical signals, and multiplex optical signals of different wavelengths to obtain multi-wavelength third optical signals.
- Output nodes convert third optical signals into groups of second electrical signals, and switch and output these signals through any output port.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Optical communication networks
- Data centers
- Telecommunication systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient conversion of electrical signals to optical signals
- Multiplexing and demultiplexing of optical signals
- Flexible switching of electrical signals for output
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased data transmission speeds

Original Abstract Submitted
An electrical switching cluster system includes a plurality of input nodes, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a plurality of output nodes. Each of the input nodes performs electrical switching on electrical signals to obtain a plurality of groups of first electrical signals, and converts one group of first electrical signals into a multi-wavelength first optical signal. Each of the intermediate nodes demultiplexes a plurality of first optical signals to obtain a plurality of groups of second optical signals, and multiplexes optical signals of different wavelengths in the plurality of groups of second optical signals to obtain a plurality of multi-wavelength third optical signals. Each of the output nodes converts one third optical signal into one group of second electrical signals, and performs electrical switching on a plurality of groups of second electrical signals to output the plurality of groups of second electrical signals through any output port.
