This tutorial review of fiber-optic branching devices covers example uses of branching devices, device types, device-performance characteristics, examples of current technology, and system-design methodology. A branching method for multi-fiber fiberoptic cables which comprises stripping off the jacket of a multi-fiber cable at the branching point, stripping the kevlar from the cable slightly beyond the branching point, folding back the kevlar over the jacket and holding the kevlar in place with heat. From the earliest stages of a new subsea cable project, understanding the pros and cons of utilising branching units or a festoon system is vital from a system design and cable security point of view. The discussion is limited to passive single- and multimode devices fabricated from optical.
