Splitter is an optical device used to divide a single optical signal into multiple equal optical signals, or to combine multiple optical signals into one. Optical splitters are commonly used in fiber optic communications systems to distribute signals from optical fibers to multiple destinations or to combine multiple optical signals into a single signal.

The main functions of fiber optic splitters are as follows:

  • Signal distribution: In fiber optic communication systems, optical splitters can distribute a single optical signal from a light source to multiple receivers or terminal devices to achieve signal distribution.
  • Signal Combining: In some cases, multiple optical signals need to be combined into a single signal. Optical splitters can combine multiple input signals into a single output signal for transmission to a remote location.
  • Network topology adjustment: In some optical fiber networks, the network topology may need to be readjusted due to network structure or cabling requirements. Optical splitters can be used to adjust the transmission path and distribution of signals to meet different network needs.
  • Signal monitoring: Optical splitters can also be used for signal monitoring and testing. Through optical splitters, optical signals can be guided into monitoring equipment or test equipment for network performance monitoring or fault diagnosis.

In general, optical splitters play an important role in optical fiber communication systems, enabling flexible distribution, merging, and management of optical signals to meet communication needs in different application scenarios.
