Fiber Broadband Association Releases Splitter Guide

The Fiber Broadband Association on Wednesday released an “Introduction to Passive Optical Network Splitter Architectures,” which was developed by the FBA Technology Committee. “The purpose of the guide is to demystify the terminology, configurations, and best practices associated with PON splitter deployment,” the group said. The report “explores how splitter architecture choices impact fiber counts, splicing, and customer connections while setting the stage for a more detailed follow-up analysis of centralized versus distributed splitting architectures.”
