The yellobrik range by LYNX Technik includes passive optical splitters that offer a cost-effective method of distributing fibre optic signals. There are three models which split the power output in the optical range, 1260nm to 1650nm, in different ratios.
| OSP 1812 |
A 1:2 optical splitter with one input (100%) and two outputs (each 50%) |
| OSP 1812-M |
A 1:2 optical splitter with one input (100%) and two outputs, one at 90% power and the other at 10% power. This is typically used for monitoring applications. |
| OSP 1814 |
A 1:4 optical splitter with one input (100%) and four outputs (each 25%) |
The modules can be used standalone or mounted in the optional RFR 1018 0.5U rack frame, which can accommodate up to four OSP series modules, providing a secure mounting platform in any standard 19 inch rack.
The OSP series optical splitters are entirely passive devices, requiring no power supply and generating no heat.
