| Electrically breaking a fiber connection? |
| << < (4/5) > >> |
| Kalvin:
Would bending the fiber very sharply give sufficient attenuation to emulate the loss of connection? |

| Chalcogenide:
I wonder if you could move to free space optics (by collimating the light and then re-launching it into a fiber), and then use a mechanical shutter in between the free space path. The losses may be significant, but it should be possible, although maybe not too practical. |

I was thinking more like a damaged submarine cable or something |
