AOS Optical Splitter Solution

ACT offers a complete line of Optical Splitters, which feature low insertion loss, high isolation and excellent wavelength stability. The optical splitters come as different form factor packages, 1RU 19” rack-mount chassis, standard LGX modules or flat box assemblies. The Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is a type of optical power management device that is fabricated using silica optical waveguide technology. It features small size, high reliability, wide operating wavelength range and good channel-to-channel uniformity, and is widely used in PON networks to realize optical signal power splitting. ACT developed the complete series of 1xN and 2xN splitter products that are tailored for specific applications suc as HFC, FTTx (P2P, P2MP), RFOG (Radio Frequency over Glass) applications, permitting DOCSIS and HFC to operate over a EPON/GPON compliant Passive Optical Network (PON) as commonly deployed for Fibre to the Home (FTTH) developments solution in high density FTTX networks to bring the video services to business and home premises.
