Optical Splitters

Optical Splitter is used to split the optical fiber light into several parts at a certain ratio. Fiber optic splitters are important passive components used in FTTX networks. But two kinds of optical fiber splitters/couplers are popular used, one is the traditional fused type optical splitter (FBT coupler) or FBT WDM optical splitter, which features competitive prices; the other is PLC splitter, which is compact size and suit for density applications. Both of them have their advantages to suit for different requirement.

Fiber optical splitters can be terminated with different kinds of connectors. The main package could be box type or stainless tube type, the former is usually used with 2mm or 3mm outer diameter cable, the latter is usually used with 0.9mm outer diameter cables.
