1x3 Plastic Optical Fiber Splitter (1x2 / Multi-Branch)
This denotes a JINSHANG TECH branching optical component that combines or splits light over large-core plastic fibers without electronics.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the unit as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- Return loss: 0.2(dB)
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Certified to ISO9001, RoHS
- Housing/jacket color: Black
- Insertion loss: 0.2(dB)
- Used bidirectionally for combining as well as splitting
- Compact enclosure that protects the sensitive splitting region
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for branching one illuminator to several star-ceiling or display zones, multi-point optical sensing and presence detection networks, and short-range POF data and signal distribution. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: 1x2 or more branches? A: A 1x2 (Y) coupler splits into two; tree or multi-branch splitters feed more outputs, with higher total loss as branches increase.
Q: Does a splitter need power? A: No. It is a purely passive optical component and introduces no electronics at the split point.
Q: How does splitting affect brightness? A: Each branch receives a fraction of the input light; the exact split ratio sets relative brightness, so longer branches may need a larger share.
Q: What is a POF splitter? A: It is a passive optical coupler that divides the light from one input plastic fiber into multiple output fibers, allowing one source to feed several branches.
