Bare Fibre Optic Splitter 1x16

A Bare Fibre Optic Splitter 1x16 is a passive optical component used to split a single fiber optic signal into 16 separate output channels. These splitters are constructed with bare (unjacketed, unconnectorized) fibers, making them ideal for integration into splice trays, enclosures, or for fusion splicing in custom deployments.

Key Features

Splitter Configuration

• 1x16 Splitter:

  • 1 input fiber

  • 16 output fibers

• Equal power split: ~6.25% per output (standard 1:16 ratio)

📏 Fiber Length

• Typically:

  • 1 meter bare fiber on input leg

  • 1 meter bare fiber on each of the 16 output legs

• Custom lengths available

Fiber Type

• Single-mode Fiber (SMF) – Common types: G.652D, G.657A1/A2

• Multimode Fiber (MMF) – Available but less common for 1x16

• Fiber cladding diameter: 125 µm

Operating Wavelength

• Single-mode:

  • 1260–1650 nm (broadband)

• Multimode:

  • Typically 850 nm or 1310 nm, depending on fiber type
