PON splitters are passive devices that split a single optical signal into multiple outputs, facilitating the distribution of data from a central office to numerous end-users. This guide. Bandwidth is shared amongst customers in a PON, and the bandwidth received by a customer is not related to the power received at the optical network terminal (ONT) as long as the power is high enough so the ONT can operate. Splits are most commonly factors of 2, such as 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32. According to the Broadband Forum, PLC splitters are essential for achieving scalable and cost-effective GPON and XGS-PON deployment in access networks. In this guide, you'll learn how fiber splitters function in PON networks, the difference between PLC and FBT types, and how to choose the best. In a PON network, the splitter which is located between OLT and ONU functions as a traffic hub, adeptly managing the flow of optical signals. Understanding the. Passive Optical Networks (PON) have become the backbone of high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) solutions.
