What is the difference between FBT coupler and splitter

1. Material:

FBT fiber optic splitters are made of steel, optical fibers, heat shrinkable tubes and other common materials. The cost is not high, the device manufacturing technology is relatively simple, and the price is relatively cheap. The technology of PLC fiber optic splitter is more complex and expensive.

2. Working wavelength:

The FBT fiber splitter only supports three wavelengths: 850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm, and cannot work in other wavelength environments. PLC fiber optic splitter can support working under the wavelength of 1260nm ~ 1650nm.

3. Split ratio:

The split ratio of FBT fiber optic splitter is up to 1:32, while the PLC fiber optic splitter can go up to 64, which makes PLC fiber optic splitter can provide higher reliability. In addition, based on higher technology, PLC fiber optic splitter can split the signal equally.

4. Temperature:

The FBT fiber optic splitter can work stably at -5°C to 75°C, while the PLC fiber optic splitter can work in a wider temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, and performs well in such extreme environments. performance.
