Advantages classified by principle

Fused biconical taper (FBT) optical fiber splitter

Low cost: The development cost is low, and the raw materials are easily accessible and inexpensive. For low-channel splitters such as 1×2 and 1×4, the cost advantage is obvious.

Adjustable splitting ratio: The splitting ratio can be monitored in real-time according to requirements, and unequal splitters can be fabricated to meet different optical signal distribution needs.

Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical fiber splitter

Wavelength-insensitive: The loss is insensitive to the optical wavelength, which can meet the transmission requirements of different wavelengths. It is suitable for scenarios where multiple wavelength signals are transmitted, such as the integration of three networks (telecommunications network, cable TV network, and Internet).

Uniform splitting: It can evenly distribute the signals to users, ensuring that the optical signal intensities at each output end are relatively consistent, which is beneficial for improving the signal quality.

Compact structure: It has a small volume and can be directly installed in various existing junction boxes without the need for special design to reserve a large installation space, making it convenient for installation and deployment.

Many splitting channels: A single device can have a large number of splitting channels, which can reach more than 32 channels, making it suitable for scenarios with a large number of users.

Low cost for multiple channels: The more the number of splitting channels, the more obvious the cost advantage, and it has a high cost-performance ratio in large-scale splitting applications.

Common advantages

High stability and reliability: It can achieve stable distribution of optical signals within a wide wavelength range, has good anti-environmental interference ability, and can ensure the long-term stable operation of the optical communication system.

Low insertion loss: The attenuation of the optical signal is controlled within a certain range, ensuring the high efficiency of signal transmission and enabling the signal intensity received at each user end to meet the requirements.

Low polarization-dependent loss: It has little impact on the polarization state of the optical signal and will not cause a decline in signal quality due to the polarization characteristics of the signal, ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

Support for multi-port splitting: It can distribute the signal of one optical fiber to multiple users, greatly improving the utilization rate of network resources and reducing the construction and maintenance costs.
