Characteristics of Unequal Ratio Optical Splitters
Unbalanced optical splitter is an optical passive device whose core function is to distribute the input optical signal to multiple output channels in unequal proportions. 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. When the optical network system needs to couple and distribute optical signals, optical splitters can be. The split ratio and insertion loss are two key parameters defining their performance.
