Couplers Singlemode & Multimode

612 Series Singlemode Broadband
Dual Window Tree and Star Coupler


ARIA's singlemode broadband dual-window tree and star fiber optic couplers are bi-directional high-port count devices which split or combine different optical signals with exceptional performance over a wide bandwidth at two operating wavelengths. 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

  • For both 1310nm and 1550nm
  • Low insertion loss
  • Polarization insensitive
  • 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
