Does PON require a beam splitter
Passive optical networks do not use electrically powered components to split the signal. Each splitter typically splits the signal from a single fiber into 16, 32, or up to 256 fibers, depending on the manufacturer, and several splitters can be aggregated in a single cabinet. In a PON network, a device called an optical line terminal (OLT) is placed at the head end of the network. The light from the ISP is divided through the splitters to reach all the customer sites, and light from.
