In modern fiber optic communication networks, FBT splitters are indispensable passive optical devices. Their primary function is to distribute optical signals from one fiber to multiple fibers or combine multiple signals into one fiber. These devices are widely used in data centers, enterprise networks, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) projects, and telecommunications networks.

Fiber-Life, a leading brand in fiber optic products, has launched high-performance 1xN and 2xN Multimode 850nm/1310nm Single Window FBT Splitters with a steel tube design, ensuring stable operation even in complex environments. This article will delve into the technical features, application scenarios, and reasons why this product is an ideal choice for fiber optic networks.
1. Product Details
1.1 Differences Between 1xN and 2xN Splitters
- 1xN Splitter: A 1xN splitter is a single-input, multiple-output device. It distributes optical signals from one input fiber to multiple output fibers. For example, a 1×4 splitter can distribute one signal to four output fibers. This type of splitter is suitable for scenarios where signals need to be distributed to multiple end devices, such as data centers or enterprise networks.
- 2xN Splitter: A 2xN splitter supports dual-input, multiple-output configurations. It can combine two input signals and distribute them to multiple output fibers. This design is ideal for networks requiring redundancy or dual-path input, ensuring signal transmission even in the event of a network failure.
1.2 Multimode 850nm/1310nm Wavelengths
- 850nm Wavelength: 850nm is one of the most commonly used wavelengths in multimode fibers, suitable for short-distance transmission (typically up to 500 meters). It offers high bandwidth and low loss, making it ideal for data centers and enterprise networks.
- 1310nm Wavelength: The 1310nm wavelength is suitable for medium-short distance transmission (typically up to 2 kilometers). It has low loss in multimode fibers, making it suitable for scenarios requiring longer transmission distances.
Fiber-Life’s FBT splitters support both 850nm and 1310nm wavelengths, meeting the needs of various network environments.
1.3 Single Window Design
A single window design means the splitter is optimized for a specific wavelength range. Fiber-Life’s FBT splitters are designed specifically for 850nm and 1310nm wavelengths, ensuring maximum signal transmission efficiency and minimizing insertion and reflection losses.
1.4 Steel Tube Design
The steel tube is a standout feature of Fiber-Life’s FBT splitters. It provides excellent mechanical strength and protects internal fibers from environmental damage. This design ensures stable operation in harsh conditions, such as high temperatures, humidity, or strong vibrations.
2. Application Scenarios
2.1 Data Centers
In data centers, the stability and efficiency of fiber optic networks are critical. Fiber-Life’s 1xN and 2xN FBT splitters help data center managers optimize fiber cabling, reduce complexity, and ensure efficient signal distribution. The steel tube design also withstands high temperatures and vibrations commonly found in data centers.
2.2 Enterprise Networks
For enterprise networks, FBT splitters enable multiple users to share the same fiber resources. For example, in an office building, a 1xN splitter can distribute one fiber signal to multiple offices, reducing cabling costs. A 2xN splitter provides higher reliability in networks requiring redundancy.
2.3 Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH)
In FTTH projects, FBT splitters are key devices for distributing fiber signals to multiple households. Fiber-Life’s splitters ensure low loss and high stability over long distances, delivering high-speed and reliable internet connections to users.
