The unequal planar waveguide optical splitter (unbalanced cable splitter) has core application value in the following scenarios due to its customizable splitting ratio:
FTTR (Fiber to the Room) Network Deployment
With the growing demand for multi-room gigabit broadband in homes, FTTR requires unevenly distributing backbone fiber signals to different rooms based on actual distance and bandwidth requirements. For example, a 70:30 optical splitter prioritizes bandwidth for the main router in the living room, then distributes it to secondary routers in the bedrooms, effectively optimizing signal coverage and resource utilization throughout the home.
Fiber Optic Monitoring Systems
In the security field, the distances between monitoring nodes and central equipment rooms vary significantly. Using an unbalanced cable splitter (e.g., 60:40) allows higher optical power to be allocated to cameras in remote key areas, ensuring stable video streaming, while lower power is allocated to near-end nodes to avoid signal overload.
Fiber Optic Sensor Networks
Distributed sensors (such as temperature and stress monitoring) require optical signal strength to be allocated based on the importance of the detection point. Critical monitoring points (such as bridge stress points) can be split at a higher ratio (e.g., 80:20 unbalanced cable splitter) to improve data acquisition accuracy and system signal-to-noise ratio.
Multi-Level Splitting FTTx Networks
In complex optical distribution networks (ODNs), secondary splitting nodes often require a non-uniform splitting design. For example, a primary splitter distributes the main signal to different areas at a 90:10 split ratio, while a secondary splitter further divides the signal based on user density, enabling flexible allocation of network resources.
Such scenarios rely on PLC technology to achieve arbitrary splitting ratios through waveguide structure design. Its wavelength insensitivity and high stability (operating wavelength 1260-1650nm) adapt to the needs of multi-service transmission, making it a key component for the flexible deployment of optical distribution networks.
