Principle and Function of GPON Optical Splitter

Home / Principle and Function of GPON Optical Splitter

Its main function is to separate and convert optical signals to achieve data transmission and reception. According to the Broadband Forum, PLC splitters are essential for achieving scalable and cost-effective GPON and XGS-PON deployment in access networks. This document describes the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology and how it functions.
