Fiber Optic Splitter Shelf
Application
The splitter shelf comprises of a metal chassis for
19” rack mounting and fiber optic splitter devices.
The optical splitters provide uniform division of an
optical signal from one input fiber ports to multiple
output ports.
The splitters are design to meet the requirements
for a wide range of fiber optic communications
systems. The broadband performance makes them
especially suitable for PON FTTX networks.
Low loss under extreme environmental conditions
ensures stable operation. Thermally stable and
compact design allows these shelves to be installed
into Central Office (CO) racks as well as in outside
plant Fiber Distribution Hubs (FDH).
Features
- 1x2 to 1x64 standard configurations
- Broadband operating wavelength performance
- Low insertion loss
- Low back reflection
- Low PDL (Polarization Dependent Loss)
- Low WDL (Wavelength Dependent Loss)
- Low TDL (Temperature Dependent Loss)
- High output uniformity
- Stable optical performance
- According to Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221
- 1U, 19” and ETSI rack mountable
2 to 64 Ports Rack Mountable Splitters
Description
Configurations from 1x4 to 1x64 use Planar
Lightwawe Circuit (PLC) splitters. 1x2
configurations are based on Fused Biconic Tapers
(FBT). All components have thermally stable
broadband performance.
The splitter components are designed according to
Telcordia GR-1209, GR-1221 as well as IEC
67153-031-3/-6.
The splitter shelf is available in configurations with
multiples of splitters from 1x2 to1x64, see ordering
number table. Standard connector option is
SC/APC. Configuration examples of front panels
are shown below.
