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. It is mainly utilized in FTTx/PON networks, where they divide a single fiber into multiple branches to support multiple end users, thus reducing the load on the fiber backbone. “Passive” means it needs no electricity. One large pipe brings water into a building. Then, smaller pipes split that. The FBT (Fused Biconic Taper) splitter is a splitter device manufactured using traditional optical coupling technology. Its primary role is in Passive Optical Networks (PON), which are the foundation of.
