GPON Splitter Loss Chart

Splitters are used for dividing one or two optical signals into multiple optical signals.splitters are passive optical devices that are widely used in Passive Optical Networkssuch as GPON, and EPON. There are different types of splitters we have and every splitter has a different insertion loss, So this is very important to understand in the FTTx network when… Read More »
