Abstract
An optical cross-connect switch comprises a base (), a flap () and one or more electrically conductive landing pads () connected to the flap (). The flap () has a bottom portion that is movably coupled to the base () such that the flap () is movable with respect to a plane of the base () from a first orientation to a second orientation. The one or more landing pads () are electrically isolated from the flap () and electrically coupled to be equipotential with a landing surface.
