Fiber optic passive devices are components that manage, route, or condition light signals without requiring external power. Optical splitters, also called couplers, divide a single incoming light signal into multiple output fibers, enabling one fiber connection to serve multiple endpoints, which is essential in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and PON (Passive Optical Network) architectures . They operate purely through the physical properties of light, such as reflection and refraction, without amplifying the signal . Other examples of passive devices include:
For example, FTTx (Fiber to the x) splitters often operate at 1310nm/1490nm/1550nm wavelengths. b) Optical WDMs: These devices
