The function of a 1-to-8 optical splitter

Home / The function of a 1-to-8 optical splitter

Thorlabs' Single Mode 1x8 Fiber Optic Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitters allow a user to split a single input signal evenly into eight output signals, which is ideal for passive optical networks (PON) and other high-channel-count applications. Optical splitters take an optical signal and split it into two or more outputs and functions like a distribution amplifier. Addresses are reconfigurable by jumpers in this configuration and the Home Run configuration. 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.

1x8 PLC Fiber Optic Splitter

PLC Splitters are Singlemode splitters with an even split ratio from one input fiber to multiple output fibers. This PLC Splitter is a 1x8, with 1 input and 8 output fibers
