Broadband optical splitter number
A fiber broadband provider typically determines and overall split ratio for the network, such as 1x32 or 1x64, and uses combinations of splitters to meet that ratio with each PON port. 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. The split ratio and insertion loss are two key parameters defining their performance. Optical splitters and couplers split or combine light—distributing signals injected into a single fiber strand to multiple fibers, enabling point to multi-point communication in Fiber To The Home (FTTH) networks based on ITU.
