Couplers, Splitters & Combiners
Switchable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler
The Switchable Fiber Optical Splitter in 1×2 format splits an incoming optical signal into two output optical fibers with the capability of switching between two splitting ratios. The initial split ratio should be predefined in design, while the second split ratio will be preset in delivery. When the control signal is low (<0.8V), the splitter sustains an initial ratio. When applying the high control voltage (3~5V), the splitting ratio will be switched from the initial ratio to the secondary one. The device is bidirectional, transmitting light in both directions simultaneously. In the 2×1 format, the input light from two inputs will be split into two outputs in a similar way of the 1×2 format, but the splitting ratio is reversed between the two input lights.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Switchable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF28, HI1060, PM1550, HI780, PM780, PM850, PM980 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um loose-tube, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1060, L Band, 1310, 1550, 780, 850, 980, Special
- Check the Couplers, Splitters & Combiners passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
