Splitters / Couplers – Fused, WDM and PLC
- Technology
- Passive fibre optical components
- Partner
- AC Photonics
ACP’s splitters and couplers are based on leading edge, in-house, technology and processes which have evolved extensively with the development of standards-based and custom solutions.
These critical components play an important role in optical data signal transmission in long-haul networks, monitoring / conditioning of systems as well as being the backbone for access networks.
The variety of configurations in port counts, wavelength ranges, optical parameter specifications provides sufficient flexibility for challenging network design environments.
