Optical splitters play an important role in FTTH PON networks where a single optical input is split into multiple output, thus allowing a single PON interface to be shared among many subscribers. Passive Optical Networks (PON) are the backbone of modern FTTH architecture. By understanding these elements, network operators can design PON (Passive Optical Network) systems that. A splitter is not a filter like a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM). Rarely, there can be two inputs to provide potential redundancy of route. These rugged enclosures are offered in a variety of configurations making them ideal to be mounted in centralized splitting locations close to the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) or remote splitting locatio s nearer the Optical Network Unit (ONU). They facilitate the distribution of optical signals from a single fiber to multiple fibers, which is vital for applications such as Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and other broadband. Clearfield leads the way with optical component technologies for PON splitting, C/W division multiplexing and optical circulators. These products are custom built to your unique split ratios, light requirements and interoperability needs.
