Home / How to check a broadband optical splitter
Attach a launch reference cable to the test source of the proper wavelength (some splitters are wavelength dependent), calibrate the output of the launch cable with the meter to set the 0dB reference, attach to the source launch to the splitter, attach a receive launch. The CertiFiber® Pro Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) can be used to check that the loss of a PON Splitter (often referred to in various standards as a non-wavelength-selective or wavelength-selective branching device) to check that it is within the allowed defined limits. Optical splitters are usually used in passive optical networks (PONs) to distribute fiber to individual homes or businesses. Testing a splitter or other passive fiber optic devices like switches is little different from testing a patchcord or cable plant using the two industry standard tests, OFSTP-14 for double-ended loss (connectors on both ends) or FOTP-171 for single-ended testing. Light power goes in and light power coming out of the various legs is reduced in. In this article I focus on a few basics of optical splitters, their applications, typical causes of failures, and how to.
