When you pick a splitter, look at the split ratio. Less insertion loss means your signal is better. It enables one signal source (OLT) to serve multiple endpoints (ONTs or. A passive device used to split or combine signals on fiber optics may be called a splitter, combiner or coupler, but splitter is the most common term. They have been used since the 1980s to create networks and provide the technology for today's passive optical networks used in fiber to the home. Optical splitters are essential devices used in communication networks to divide optical signals into multiple paths, playing a crucial role in efficiently distributing information to multiple recipients.
