“Now”, this technology is multiple decades old at this point, but due to it still being a niche, low-volume product, is still fiendishly expensive. The previous (192x192 port) version of that Huber-Suhner switch ran nearly $205k the last time I priced it out and that was with discount approximately four years ago. Individual MEMS mirrors are multiple $hundreds each, fiber collimators are approximately a hundred bucks in quantity.
