SMF Optical Fused Coupler
Pictures and Schematic Diagram
Technical Specifications of SMF Optical Fused Coupler
Made with single mode fiber, the SMF optical fused coupler has been put through a process known as fused biconical taper to produce different light signal splitting ratios. The optical coupler is widely used in CATV or optical communications system. Depending on the specific applications, users can select different coupling ratios.
