Where splitters are placed in the network can make significant impacts on fiber counts, network cost and deployment time and operational steps, such as customer onboarding and maintenance. Fiber optic splitters distribute optical power from one input fiber to multiple output fibers through either fused biconical taper (FBT) coupling or planar lightwave circuit (PLC) waveguide structures. Their performance depends on optical symmetry, waveguide integrity, and mechanical stability of. Even at these low levels of power, that's a fairly high level of watts per square centimeter. Dangerous situations arise when untrained people pick up a live fiber, and look directly into it. Therefore, they assume there's no danger. The paper also provides risk analysis for every measured method and gives comprehensive risk minimization options.
