Gould’s high reliability and superior performance Planar Splitters are the
component choice to combine or split optical power in optical fiber networks and
systems. They are designed to meet the technical requirements of a broad range of
applications at a competitive price/performance ratio.
Both 1xN & 2XN Planar Splitters come in three class grades:
• A-Grade (best grade) planar splitters feature ultra-low Insertion Loss and superior
Uniformity (1) to fit and function in very demanding systems or networks.
• S- Grade (standard grade) planar splitters yield excellent overall performance.
• U- Grade (ultra-broadband grade) planar splitters offer best-in-class performances in
a wider operating wavelength range (1260 to 1650nm).
Planar Splitters can be purchased with different pig tailing and/or packaging
configurations in order to respond to all types of applications. They are extremely easy to
handle and integrate into conventional cassettes, splicing enclosures and rack mounted
modules, such as LGX™. A wide selection of connectors is available as an option.
(1) Valid under any combination of polarization, environmental and mechanical configuration.
