Couplers Singlemode & Multimode

600 Series SM Standard Coupler


ARIA's singlemode standard couplers are bi-directional multi-port devices which effectively combine or separate optical signals in singlemode fiber systems. The singlemode standard couplers are manufactured using the fused biconic taper (FBT) process ensure consistency in quality, reliability and high performance in a wide range of applications. Splitting ratios can be designed to meet customer specifications. Various types of pigtail and connector terminals are available.
