The performance is quantified by the splitting ratio, which describes the distribution of light intensity between the reflected and transmitted paths. It's typically expressed as a percentage or a ratio, such as 50:50, 70:30, etc. The figure below presents a beam splitter which reflects 30% of the. 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. If the distance between OLT and ONU is small, suppose 5 km, it can also consider about 1:64. This guide delves into these pivotal aspects, offering a comprehensive understanding of FTTH network design. Optical splitters play an instrumental role in the.
