When building optical networks and multi-channel sensing systems, the physical form factor and interface compatibility of the Fiber Splitter are crucial. A poorly designed package can increase installation difficulty, occupy valuable rack space, and even introduce additional loss during wiring.
[Beijing Dacheng Yongsheng Technology Co., Ltd. (DCYS)] offers diverse and highly flexible fiber splitter packaging solutions, ensuring seamless integration into your various application scenarios. Below are the most common questions from engineers regarding the splitter's packaging formats, wiring, and customization, along with our expert answers.
Q1: What typical packaging formats do you offer? Which is best suited for high-density, in-device integration?
A: We provide various industry-standard packages to meet needs ranging from outdoor use to internal chassis integration.
- Mini Steel Tube Type (Mini Type):
- Feature: Encapsulated in a stainless steel tube, extremely small, typically less than 3.0 mm in diameter.
- Applicable Scenarios: The preferred choice for high-density integration. Commonly used inside OLT (Optical Line Terminal) / ONU (Optical Network Unit) equipment, inside fiber optic splice closures, or in confined spaces where the splitter needs to be embedded within other components.
- ABS Box/Module Packaging:
- Feature: Protected by a robust ABS plastic box, which facilitates installation and management.
- Applicable Scenarios: Suitable for rack mounting, distribution frames (ODF), or outdoor cabinets. Ports are usually pre-terminated with connectors for rapid deployment.
- Tray/Cassette Packaging:
- Feature: Designed specifically for rack-mounted splitters, allowing direct insertion into standard cabinets or splitter chassis.
Q2: How does the OFSCN® splitter prevent bending loss during wiring and installation?
A: We employ advanced fiber technology and packaging design to ensure low-loss wiring.
- G.657A Bend-Insensitive Fiber: Our splitters can be optionally equipped with G.657A standard bend-insensitive fiber. This fiber features a smaller bend radius, which minimizes bending loss even when tightly coiled or routed inside distribution frames.
- Internal Stress Management: For both the steel tube and ABS box packages, we apply precise fixing and stress-relief design to the internal coupling points and fiber paths. This ensures that external squeezing or pulling does not introduce extra microbending loss at the splitting chip or fusion splice points.
Q3: Can you customize non-standard interfaces? For example, mixed connector types and specific pigtail lengths?
A: Absolutely. Customization is essential to meet complex network requirements.
- Mixed Connectors: We can provide mixed connectors on the same splitter based on your needs. For instance, the input end can use an FC/APC interface while the output ends use LC/UPC interfaces to match different equipment or testers.
- Pigtail Length and Type: Input/Output pigtail lengths can be precisely customized (e.g., 0.5 meters, 1 meter, 2 meters, etc.). Furthermore, we can offer special output forms, such as Ribbon Fiber, to simplify the termination of high-density channels.
Q4: How is this splitter integrated into multi-channel fiber optic sensing systems (like FBG sensing)?
A: The splitter is central to multi-point FBG sensing systems, used for range extension.
- Functional Role: In an FBG sensing system, the splitter distributes the light source signal from the interrogator to multiple sensing fibers carrying FBG arrays.
- Integration Advantage: Our high-precision splitters (especially models with low PDL) ensure that the reflected signals received by the interrogator maintain good consistency and signal-to-noise ratio across all channels. Using the Mini Steel Tube splitter allows for easy integration into the compact chassis of the sensing host or field acquisition unit.
