A fiber optic splitter functions by dividing the fiber optic light into multiple segments based on a specific ratio. For instance, when light is transmitted through a 1X4 equal ratio splitter, it splits into four equal parts, with each segment representing 1/4 or 25% of the original light source. Unlike Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), which separates different wavelength fiber optic light into distinct channels, fiber optic splitters distribute light power across various channels.
Splitters are typically available in 900µm loose tube and 250µm bare fiber configurations. 1x2 and 2x2 couplers are standardly equipped with protective metal sleeves to shield the split. For higher output counts, a protective box is utilized to safeguard the splitting components.
Features of Fibertronics Splitters Couplers:
- Available in single mode, multimode 62.5, and multimode 50 fiber modes
- Constructed with either 900µm loose tube fiber or 250µm bare fiber
- Offered in unconnectorized form or with a selection of fiber optic connectors, including LC, LC/APC, SC, SC/APC, FC, FC/APC, and ST
- 1x2 and 2x2 configurations available in various split ratios, such as 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80, 10/90, 5/95, 1/99, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, 95/5, and 99/1
