How to install and use a fiber optic splitter?

2025-07-31
The following is a guide to installing and using a fiber optic splitter, including key steps and precautions:
I. Installation Preparation
Tools and Materials
  • Required tools: Fiber cleaver, wire stripper, alcohol wipes/cleaning pen, optical power meter.
  • Splitter Type: Choose a PLC type (uniform splitting) or an FBT type (non-uniform splitting) based on your needs, and confirm wavelength compatibility (e.g., 1310nm/1550nm).
Environmental Inspection
  • Ensure the installation location is dust- and moisture-proof. The splitter should be placed flat or wall-mounted (with the connector facing downward to prevent dust accumulation).
  • The fiber bend radius should be greater than 5cm to avoid damage.
II. Installation Steps
Fiber End Face Preparation
  • Use wire strippers to strip approximately 5mm of the fiber jacket. Clean the bare fiber with alcohol and cut it evenly.
  • Align the cold splice with the fiber core and tighten it securely to prevent loosening and optical degradation.
Connecting the Splitter
  • Plug the input fiber into the splitter's input port (marked "IN" or "E") and connect the output port to the end device.
  • For Huawei FTTR splitters, note that the green port is the cascade port (not the uplink port) to avoid incorrect insertion, which may cause signal instability.
Securing and Testing
  • Use clips or screws to secure the connectors and ensure a secure physical connection.
  • Use an optical power meter to measure input/output power. Insertion loss should be ≤ the theoretical value (e.g., a typical loss for a 1:2 split is 3.5dB).
III. Precautions
  • Optical Attenuation Control: After splitting, the optical power of each channel must be within the range of -20dBm to -25dBm. Exceeding this range may cause network problems.
  • Carrier Restrictions: If you plan to split your own fiber at home, you must confirm that your carrier supports it. Some scenarios require configuration at the data center.
  • Multi-Level Splitting: The FTTR system supports up to four levels of cascading to prevent the optical power from falling below the critical value (-24.5dBm).
IV. Common Problems
  • Unstable signal: Check the connector for cleanliness or the correct orientation of the splitter.
  • Bandwidth reduction: After splitting, the total bandwidth is shared; it is recommended to limit the number of connected devices.

The above steps will complete the installation and commissioning of the splitter. For complex scenarios (such as multi-level splitting), it is recommended to contact a professional.
