Plug the input fiber into the splitter's input port (marked "IN" or "E") and connect the output port to the end device. Use clips or screws to secure the connectors and ensure a secure physical connection. Use an optical power meter to measure input/output power. Unlike active devices (which require power), splitters operate without electricity, relying solely on the physics of. By dividing a single optical signal from a central Optical Line Terminal (OLT) into multiple outputs for Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at users' homes, splitters eliminate the need for dedicated fibers to each residence—slashing infrastructure costs while scaling network reach. This guide. A fiber broadband provider typically determines and overall split ratio for the network, such as 1x32 or 1x64, and uses combinations of splitters to meet that ratio with each PON port. Splitter Type: Choose a PLC type (uniform splitting) or an FBT type (non-uniform splitting) based on your needs, and confirm wavelength compatibility (e.
