Optical splitter is a component of PON network. Its function is to distribute downstream data and concentrate upstream data. Abstract—Passive Optical Network (PON) technologies have been deployed widely for Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) services. Generally, PONs provide an economical solution by reducing the cabling. Bandwidth is shared amongst customers in a PON, and the bandwidth received by a customer is not related to the power received at the optical network terminal (ONT) as long as the power is high enough so the ONT can operate. Splits are most commonly factors of 2, such as 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32. A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications system that delivers data from a single source to multiple endpoints using unpowered components.
