Pictures and Schematic Diagram

The optical fused coupler goes by names. Fused fiber coupler and FBT splitter are just a couple. The word fused indicates that the coupler is made by fusing two adjacent fibers together to form a fused biconical taper coupler.

Applications of Optical Fused Coupler
FTTH
Telecommunication Networks System
Passive telecommunication networks (PON)
CATV
fiber optic test equipment
Fiber optic sensor
LAN

Features of FBT Coupler
Low insertion loss
Low polarization loss
