OP3xSx
Series Optical Splitters / Combiners

Enlarged Photo (245k)

Aurora Networks' OP3xSx family of splitters and combiners have been designed with high uniformity, low insertion loss and polarization dependent loss. The product family of modules includes 1x4, 2x4, 1x8 and 1x16 splitters/combiners; dual 1x2, 1x3 and 2x2 splitters/combiners; and a family of dual 1x2 splitters/combiners having unbalanced outputs with split ratios ranging from 55/45 to 99/1. A unique scalable 8x8 splitter/combiner is also available from Aurora Networks (and described here). All modules utilize SC/APC type connectors that can be removed for easy cleaning.

Aurora Networks' single mode, multiband splitters and combiners are packaged in Aurora's very compact half-depth module for mounting in the CH3000 chassis. The packaging concept for Aurora’s family of optical passives is similar to the well recognized LGX package; and, although Aurora's version of the LGX module is slightly narrower (for higher packaging density), it will also mount in any standard LGX chassis. Aurora's implementation maintains the advantages of the LGX concept (which enables easy, snap-in installation) while providing higher packaging density, greater flexibility and scalability to the network operator.

Features

•  High port-to-port uniformity
•  SC/APC connectors ensure performance repeatability, compatibility
    and easy installation and maintenance
•  Removable adapters for easy cleaning
•  Industry's highest packaging density (up to 32 modules per chassis)
•  Occupies one half-depth slot for most modules
    (two half-depth slots for 1x16 module)
