Couplers Singlemode & Multimode

610 Series Singlemode
Standard Tree and Star Coupler


ARIA's singlemode standard tree and star fiber optic couplers are bi-directional high-port count units for effective splitting or combining optical signals in singlemode fiber systems. They are fused biconic tapered (FBT) couplers cascaded in series to achieve the desired port configuration. These couplers have excellent uniformity and low excess loss which are ideal for fiber distribution, telecommunications systems and CATV applications. Various types of connectors terminals are available.


Features

  • Low insertion loss
  • Low PDL
  • Excellent uniformity
  • High directivity
  • Bi-directional
  • Environmentally stable and reliable

Applications

  • Telecommunications
  • CATV
  • Subscriber loop
  • Fiber-to-the-home
  • Local Area Network (LAN)
  • Test equipment
  • Optical fiber sensors
  • Source distribution
