Couplers, Splitters & Combiners

Variable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler Array

The Variable Fiber Optical Splitter splits an incoming optical signal between two output optical fibers with a continuously variable ratio controlled by an electrical input voltage from 0 to 5V. When the electrical control signal is removed, the splitter returns to a pre-determined ratio with a standard version of 100:0. The device is bidirectional, transmitting light in both directions simultaneously. The all-solid-state crystal design provides high reliability. The Variable Fiber Optic Splitter has passed Telcordia reliability qualification tests. It is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of ultra-high reliability, fast response time, and continuous operation. The unit is mounted on a driving board having a control signal input SMC connector and a wall plug-in power supply. Available with several electronic drivers optimized for various repetition rates.
