Bare Fibre Optic Splitter 1x2

A Bare Fiber Optic Splitter 1x2 (1 meter) is a passive optical component used to divide one input fiber signal into two output signals. It is called "bare" because the fibers are exposed (not jacketed), making it ideal for integration into enclosures or splicing into other fibers in custom assemblies.

🔍 Key Features

1. Splitter Type:

   • 1x2: One input fiber, two output fibers.

   • Balanced or Unbalanced splitting ratio, often 50:50, but can vary (e.g., 70:30).

2. Form Factor:

   • Bare fiber design – no connectors, loose fibers with no external housing.

   • Compact and ideal for fusion splicing.

3. Length:

   • Standard length is 1 meter per leg (input and outputs).

4. Operating Wavelengths:

   • Typically supports 1260–1650 nm (wideband).

   • Can be specified for single-mode (SMF) or multimode (MMF) fiber use.

5. Low Insertion Loss:

   • Typically ≤3.5 dB (for 50:50 split in SMF).

   • Ensures minimal signal degradation.

6. Uniformity and Stability:

   • High uniformity between output ports.

   • Stable performance across temperature ranges (often -40°C to +85°C).

7. Return Loss:

   • ≥ 55 dB (for single-mode versions), minimizing reflection.

8. Fiber Type:

   • Can be Single-mode (G.657A1, G.652D) or Multimode (OM1–OM5) depending on application.

9. Applications:

   • PON networks (e.g., FTTH, FTTB).

   • Test equipment and lab setups.

   • Signal monitoring and distribution.

   • Custom enclosures or splice trays.
