Optical splitters play an important role in FTTH PON networks where a single optical input is split into multiple output, thus allowing a single PON interface to be shared among many subscribers. The optical splitters have no active electronics and don’t require any power to operate. They are typically installed in each optical network between […]

FBT Splitters vs. PLC Splitters: What Are the Differences?
Fiber optic splitters play an increasingly significant role in many of today’s optical network topologies. They provide capabilities that help users maximize the functionality of optical network circuits from FTTx systems to traditional optical networks. And usually they are placed in the central office or in one of the distribution points (outdoor or indoor). This […]
Two Common Types of Optical Splitters – FBT And PLC
Over the past few years, optical technology has made a huge step forward to meet the growing demands for optical performances in fiber applications. Take splitter technology for example, advances have been made in its fabrication and packaging, which makes optical splitters an even more important passive device in passive optical networks (PON). Optical Splitter […]
Differences between FBT and PLC Splitter
With the growing demand for optic signal transmission, fiber optic splitter becomes more and more important in today’s fiber optic communication. In terms of principle, optical cable splitter can be divided into FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) splitter and PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter. Since, these two splitters have different working principles and applications, this post will make a […]
FBT Splitter Couplers
FBT splitter, or FBT coupler, is an optical splitter that uses the Fused Biconic Taper (FBT) technique. The FBT technique is a well known industry technology for splitting optical power and/or splitting wavelengths. The fused fiber coupler is created through a process of fusing two bare fibers like an “X” and pulling the fused section […]
Noun Explanation of Several Common Optical Passive Devices
Noun Explanation of Several Common Optical Passive Devices 1) What is the PON? PON is the English abbreviation of Passive Optical Network. Because of its large transmission capacity, low maintenance cost and fiber dosage saving, PON has now become the main optical access technology in the world, and is widely used mainly by the fiber […]
