FTTR beam splitter splitting ratio
• The FBT splitter offers low cost, common materials (quartz substrate, stainless steel, fiber, hot dorm, GEL), and an adjustable splitting ratio. However, its losses are wavelength-dependent and it offers poor spectral uniformity, cannot ensure uniform spectroscopy, and is temperature sensitive. A split ratio describes how many output ports a splitter has, and how evenly the input optical power is distributed across those ports. For example, a 1:32 splitter takes 1 input signal and splits it into 32 equal (or nearly equal) output signals. In broadband landscape, designing an efficient FTTH network means more than just laying fiber. The real design trade-offs lie in how you split the optical signals, where you locate the splitters, and the ratio you choose for subscriber sharing.
