Product Profile of Fiber Optics Products
Fiber couplers, or splitters, are special fiber optic devices with one or more input fibers for distributing optical signals into two or more output fibers. The optical light is passively split into multiple output signals [fibers] , each containing light with properties identical to the original except for reduced amplitude. Because the splitter is a passive device it is immune to EMI, consumes no electrical power and does not add noise to system design. The splitter`s passive design is bi-directional and operationally independent of wavelength, constrained only by the physical properties of the PMMA fiber core.
