What is an optical fiber splitter used for?

1. Category: Communication Technology

An optical splitter is a device used to split and combine light wave energy. It distributes the optical energy transmitted in one optical fiber to two or more optical fibers according to a predetermined ratio, or combines the optical energy transmitted in multiple optical fibers into one optical fiber.

2. Types

According to the light splitting principle, optical splitters can be divided into Fused Fiber Splitter (FBT Splitter) and Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter (PLC Splitter).

3. Advantages

1. Low additional loss   2. Good directionality   3. Low polarization sensitivity   4. High cost-performance ratio   5. High environmental and mechanical stability

4. Applications

Optical splitters are widely used in optical fiber communication systems, radio and television networks, and other fields.
