Optical Wavelength Splitter, 1490nm & 1570nm
DESCRIPTION
The Optical Wavelength Splitter OWS201 is used to separate the various wavelengths that may be present in GPON, 10G PON, XGPON and NGPON2 networks to measure each specific signal level. A standard optical power meter such as the OPM510 or OPM210 can then be used to measure each signal without the need to purchase a costly DWDM OPM. The optical loss of the OWS200 is typically less than 0.1dB and as a result has marginal influence on the measurements. Currently, all models of the OWS200 support two individual wavelengths but systems with four and eight are also possible. The user selects the model that supports the system wavelengths that they intend to measure, which determines the model of OWS200.
The OWS201 allows the technician to measure 1490nm and 1570nm in overlayed 1G and 10G networks without influence from the adjacent wavelength.
OVERVIEW
- High accuracy to measure specific channel wavelengths
- Eliminates the need for expensive PON and DWDM power meters
- Low loss
- SC/APC connections

Common Questions About the Optical Wavelength Splitter, 1490nm and 1570nm
What is the Optical Wavelength Splitter OWS201 used for?
It is used to separate and measure individual optical signal levels at 1490nm and 1570nm in GPON and 10G PON networks without interference from adjacent wavelengths.
Who is this splitter designed for?
This splitter is designed for fiber and telecommunications technicians working on GPON, XGPON, and NGPON2 networks who need accurate wavelength specific power measurements.
Why use this splitter instead of a DWDM power meter?
It allows accurate wavelength specific measurements using a standard optical power meter, eliminating the need for expensive PON or DWDM power meters.
Will using the splitter affect network performance?
No. It has very low insertion loss and low return loss, so it does not disrupt the network or significantly influence measurement accuracy.
