The most common splitters deployed in a PON system is a uniform power splitter with a 1:N or 2:N splitter ratio, where N is the number of output ports. 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 network reach. Optical splitters, encompassing FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) couplers and PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitters, are prevalent passive optical devices designed to divide fiber optic light into multiple segments based on a specified ratio. Its primary role is in Passive Optical Networks (PON), which are the foundation of.
