  • Types of Optical Power Splitters

    Types of Optical Power Splitters

    According to the principle, fiber optic splitters can be divided into Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) splitter and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters. The FBT splitter is one of the most common. It can distribute the optical energy transmitted through a single fiber to two or more fibers in a predetermined ratio or combine the optical energy from multiple fibers into one fiber. Its primary role is in Passive Optical Networks. In the backbone of modern Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, optical splitters serve as the unsung heroes that enable cost-efficient connectivity for millions of subscribers. In this guide, you'll learn: What an optical splitter is and how it works PLC splitter vs FBT splitter.
