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 […]
FTTH Access Network Based on GPON
Growing demand for high speed internet drives the new access technologies which enable experiencing true broadband. This leads telecommunication operators to seriously consider the high volume roll-out of optical fiber based access networks. In order to allow faster connections, the optical fiber gets closer and closer to the subscriber. Then FTTH (Fiber To The Home) […]
GPON: Optimal Solution to FTTH
Recently, the increasing spread of the Internet is the major driver for the development of new access technologies, which demand more capacities carry to bandwidth. Among these technologies, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) appears the most suitable choice. An optimal option for FTTH technology, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) provides one of the most cost-effective ways […]
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 […]
Fiber Optical Splitter Used into the Star Coupler
We know, fiber optical splitter is a key optical device in PON systems, which splits the optical signal power finally into all the output ports. In the PON field plant shown in the Figure, a 1×8 Fiber Splitter to 1×32 fiber splitter is placed on an electric pole, connecting the distribution optical cable in the air and […]
