Its main function is to separate and convert optical signals to achieve data transmission and reception. According to the Broadband Forum, PLC splitters are essential for achieving scalable and cost-effective GPON and XGS-PON deployment in access networks. This document describes the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology and how it functions.

The tray-type optical splitter can only be installed in the ODF rack of the equipment room or in the optical cable transfer box. In this guide, you'll learn how fiber splitters function in PON networks, the difference between PLC and FBT types, and how to choose the best model for your rollout in 2025. When employing the first-level splitting method in a residential network, optical splitters offer flexibility for indoor or outdoor installation. These devices do help in dividing light beams (1 or 2) into several beams uniformly.

Both fibers, at the same time, are stretched under a heating zone thus forming a double cone. This special waveguide structure allows control of the splitting ratio via controlling length of the fiber torsion angle and stretch.

Use 12- or 24-fiber trunks for 40G/100G breakout or direct 400G lanes; consider 8- or 16-fiber variants where equipment supports them. Plan trunk architecture to minimize mid-span splicing and to match Transceiver breakout ratios. Manufacturers commonly offer cables in multiples that simplify manufacturing and management: low-count options (2, 4, 6, 12) for simple duplex or small distribution runs; medium trunk sizes (24, 48, 72) for enterprise backbones and campus links; and high-density cores (144, 288, 432, 864+) for. The total number of cores for a 1pc fiber patch cable is calculated as the number of branches multiplied by the number of cores per branch (if there are no branches, the number of branches = 1). The number of optical cores in an optical fiber is the total number of equipment interfaces multiplied by 2, plus 10% to 20% of the spare quantity, and if the communication mode of the equipment has serial communication and equipment multiplexing, you can reduce the number of cores. While singlemode cable is required for longer distances, high-power singlemode transceivers needed for those long distances are significantly more expensive than multimode transceivers, increasing overall system cost. This is especially true for links longer than 2 km, which use wavelength division. • Design engineers reserve spare fibers for potential breaks and future upgrades to the system.

Centralized split architecture is a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network design that utilizes single-stage optical splitters located in a central hub. 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. Passive refers to the unpowered condition of the fiber and splitting/combining components.
