Fiber Optic Splitter & It’s Working

A fiber optic splitter also called optical splitter which splits the fiber optic light into more than a few parts by a certain ratio. It plays a significant part in a passive optical network (EPON, GPON, BPON, FTTX, FTTH and more) by permitting a single PON interface to be shared among lots of patrons or to connect the MDF and the terminal device and to branch the optical signal. As stated above, to get this result, it is designed to split light beam into many more light beams and couple the light beams to the branch distribution as an optical fiber tandem device. The application helps in enhancing the performance of network circuits.

Typically, fiber optic splitters can be divided into two types: Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) splitter and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters. Fiber optic splitter with various input and output terminals to get the branch of the light beams and maximize the functionality of the network circuits. Recent years have seen rapid growth of optical network, more and more experts and creations doing value addition to fiber optic splitter, and optimization of applications is making it more popular.

Fiber optic cable manufacturers are very focused and also much concerned with manufacturing competence and expense optimization. Cutthroat competition around the globe in the fiber optic cable market not only putting significant pressure on the prices but on the makes also. With ever fluctuating cost of raw material adds the pressure and constraints. But on a positive side, you will be benefited by this scenario, as you can get the best quality cable at very competitive rates, and designs that are unique with multi-integrational functions.

Fiber Optic splitter is responsible for splitting up the network, resulting in the sharing of the optical fiber amongst multiple users.

Different Functions of Some Types of Fiber Optic Splitter

Fiber Optic splitter is responsible for splitting up the network, resulting in the sharing of the optical fiber amongst multiple users. There are various types of fiber optic splitter available with different functionalities.  Have a look:
  • PLC Splitter
  • Fused fiber splitter
  • FTTH Splitter
Let us discuss them in detail: PLC Splitter: PLC that is planar light wave circular splitter is known for its good channel to channel uniformity, high reliability and small size with wide operating wavelength. It is made up of silica optical waveguide technology. It is used in optical signal power management and in PON networks. SINO OPTIC provides series of splitters that meet GR-1209-CORE and GR-1221-CORE and are certified by TLC for network development along with fiber optic ceramic ferrule. Fused fiber splitter: it is basically used forwavelength multi/demultiplexing or branching/combining of optical signal. They not only combine optical signals from two fibers into one fiber but also split optical signals between two fibers. FTTH Splitter: it is a kind of passive optical splitter mainly used in CATV networks. It protects the connection between fiber cable and pigtails and are suitable for the ABS or LGX packed splitters. SINO OPTIC has pioneered proprietary products of fiber optic connectors, fiber optic patch cables, fiber optic cables, fiber optic adapters, fiber optic splitters, fiber optic ceramic ferrules & sleeves, fiber optic attenuators, etc. Many of which are now considered one of the best benchmark in the industry.
