- A fiber optic splitter is based on a quartz substrate of an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device, similar to a coaxial cable transmission system.
- The optical network system uses an optical signal coupled to the branch distribution.
- The fiber optic splitter is one of the most important passive devices in the optical fiber link.
- It is an optical fiber tandem device with many input and output terminals, especially applicable to a passive optical network (EPON, GPON, BPON, FTTX, FTTH etc.) to connect the main distribution frame and the terminal equipment and to branch the optical signal.
-
The fiber optic splitters can be divided into Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) splitter and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters.
-The FBT splitter (Fused Biconical Taper) is a cost-effective fiber optic device that splits one optical signal into two or more outputs by fusing fibers together, ideal for low-port-count applications (like 1x2, 1x4) in stable indoor environments.
-The PLC fiber optic splitter is one of the most important passive optical components in a fiber optic link, with one or more inputs and multiple outputs. Its three most important components are the input end, output end, and chip of the fiber optic array.
- In passive optical networks (PON), a PLC fiber optic splitter is widely installed between the PON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and the Optical Network Terminals/Units (ONTs/ONUs) that the OLT serves.
- The single fiber link coming from the Central Office (CO) OLT is connected with the input of a fiber optic splitter and is split into a given number of fibers leaving the splitter. The number of outputs in the PLC fiber optic module determines the number of splits.
- PLC fiber optic splitters can be used in centralized PON architecture or distributed architecture. In a centralized PON architecture, a 1x32 PLC fiber optic splitter is often used in the Central Office.
- In a distributed PON architecture, a 1x4 PLC fiber optic splitter is firstly directly connected to an OLT port in the Central Office, then each of the four fibers is routed to an outside plant terminal/enclosure box that houses a 1x8/1x4 PLC fiber optic splitter.
