Does an optical splitter require power
An optical splitter is a passive device, meaning is does not require power to operate like an optical DWDM amplifier in a fiber deep HFC. Absolute levels may also be represented as a relative optical power level, known decibel milliwatt or dBm. Fiber optic splitter, also referred to as optical splitter, fiber splitter or beam splitter, is an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device that can split an incident light beam into two or more light beams, and vice versa, containing multiple input and output ends. Light power goes in and light power coming out of the various legs is reduced in accordance to the split ratio.
