Split Ratios and Splitting Level of Optical Splitters
At the same time, higher split ratio splitters reduce bandwidth per ONU (optical network unit). And there will be increased optics cost either at OLT
Splitters only lower the optical power—not the bandwidth. Every endpoint still gets the full data stream; the light is just a little dimmer. And here's where optical networks shine (literally): even with that tiny power drop, a single fiber can carry so...
