Optical Splitter Subscriber Nodes

Optical Splitters Nodes are widely used in passive optical networks including GPON, NGPON and XGSPON. They take the signal on an input fiber and equally split it over multiple output fibers. 16 and 32 way split models are typically used in centralised distribution models, where the 2, 4 and 8 way units are typically used in distributed split networks. These units are typically deployed on poles in Aerial FTTH applications, and in building basements and risers in MDU FTTH installations.

The prepopulated enclosures contain optical splitters with an even split ratio. The contained splitters use PLC technology to provide accurate consistent and compact design.

The unit is designed to provide separation between the distribution network and the customer drops. The unit is separated into a two cavity design, with the rear cavity housing splicing and mid-span storage. The front compartment contains the individual drop ports allowing for direct customer connection with pre-terminated drop cables.

The Aerial Subscriber Node is developed to provide a separation between network build and the customer drop. Housing the drop connectors within the subscriber node ensures that optical connectivity is both cost-effective and secure. Optimised for fast deployment, these enclosures are supplied as pre-fitted with PLC splitters suitable for plug and play connectorised drops.
