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. Bandwidth is shared amongst customers in a PON, and the bandwidth received by a customer is not related to the power received at the optical network terminal (ONT) as long as the power is high enough so the ONT can operate. An Optical Splitter, also known as a beam splitter, is a passive optical device that divides a single input optical signal into two or more output signals. Their ability to efficiently manage optical signals makes them indispensable in various.
