Optical splitter in the telecommunications building
By dividing a single optical signal from a central Optical Line Terminal (OLT) into multiple outputs for Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at users' homes, splitters eliminate the need for dedicated fibers to each residence—slashing infrastructure costs while scaling. 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. One important note is that splitting architectures should be seen as tools that can be mixed and matched to. Its primary role is in Passive Optical Networks (PON), which are the foundation of.
