Optical splitters classified by manufacturing process
One is the traditional fused type optical splitter, fused biconic tapered (FBT) splitter, which features competitive prices; and the other is planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter, which has compact size and suits for high-density applications. Optical splitters can be categorized by manufacturing process into: They can also be categorized by installation packaging into: What is a PLC Splitter? A PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter is a type of single-mode splitter that can evenly distribute the optical signal from one input fiber to. This function is particularly important in telecommunication networks, including Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Passive Optical Networks. A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a fiber optic technology utilizing point-to-multipoint topology and optical splitters to deliver data from a single transmission point to multiple user endpoints. Passive refers to the unpowered condition of the fiber and splitting/combining components.
