This guide focuses on two critical aspects of optical splitters that define FTTH performance: split ratios (how signals are divided) and splitting architectures (how splitters are deployed). Where splitters are placed in the network can make significant impacts on fiber counts, network cost and deployment time and operational steps, such as customer onboarding and maintenance. If you need to connect a modem and receiver to the same cable outlet, use the splitter and additional coaxial cable that's included in your Express Connect Kit., apartment buildings with 4 units). 1:8 to 1:64: Higher ratios for large-scale networks. 2:8, 4:16 (Multiplexed Splitters): Combine multiple inputs into multiple outputs (e.
