The formula for the theoretical loss for each output port of a splitter with N output ports is: Theoretical Split Loss (in dB) = 10 * log10 (N) Where: N is the number of output ports the splitter has (e., 2 for a 1x2 splitter, 4 for a 1x4, 8 for a 1x8, 32 for a 1x32, etc. Use 2×N when two inputs feed the same distribution stage. Common values: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. 5 dB depending on splitter type. Optional: patch. It's inherent, unavoidable, and directly related to the number of times you split the signal. Let's start with the simplest part: the ideal, theoretical loss caused purely by dividing the light equally among N paths. Select wavelength — 1490 nm for GPON downstream, 1310 nm for upstream. Attenuation coefficient changes automatically. Telcordia and TIA allow a 0. Connector loss is always measured as a mated pair. Coupling-type splitters use optical couplers to divide optical signals, while beam splitters employ. If we have measured gains in linear units (e.
