Sample-specific optical test record

The following values are transcribed from the photographed optical coupler test report. They apply only to the shown report/sample until BWNFiber links the report to the approved SKU and current acceptance specification.

Test conditionOutput pathRequired ratioActual ratioInsertion lossReturn lossDirectivityExcess loss
850 nmPort 150%50.43%3.04 dB≥35 dB≥35 dB0.07 dB*
850 nmPort 250%49.57%3.12 dB≥35 dB*≥35 dB*0.07 dB*

* The report presents return loss, directivity and excess loss as shared cells across the two output rows. Confirm the reporting convention and production acceptance limits before publication.

Do not add a separate connector allowance to these two sample IL values unless Product Engineering confirms that the photographed test path excluded the supplied LC/UPC terminations. The source draft states that connectors are included, but the report itself should be interpreted by the responsible engineer.

What this page does and does not establish

This page can establish the configuration visible in the supplied product and report photographs. It does not yet establish:

  • a production maximum insertion-loss specification;
  • polarization-dependent loss or uniformity limits;
  • operating or storage temperature;
  • dimensions, bend limits, tensile or crush limits;
  • environmental, fire, RoHS, REACH, Telcordia or other compliance;
  • service in a named LAN, CATV, FTTx, PON, monitoring or test system;
  • transmission rate, reach or named-equipment compatibility;
  • MOQ, stock, price, lead time, warranty or packaging quantity.

Each item above is TBC — source required for the exact SKU.

Interfaces and connection conditions

The supplied photographs show one input lead and two output leads terminated with LC/UPC connectors. Before approving a BOM, confirm:

  1. which lead is the input and how both output ports are labeled;
  2. connector sex, adapter interface and end-face acceptance criteria;
  3. input and output lead lengths and length tolerance;
  4. permitted routing radius and strain relief inside the host tray or enclosure;
  5. whether the 850 nm source launch and receiving interfaces are approved for this OM3 splitter;
  6. the complete link budget, including every connector pair, splice and other passive component.

LC/UPC, OM3 and a nominal 50/50 ratio do not by themselves prove compatibility with a named switch, transceiver, test instrument or network architecture.

How to select the correct configuration

  1. Confirm that the design needs a 1×2 FBT device rather than a multi-output PLC splitter.
  2. Confirm OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber and an 850 nm acceptance condition.
  3. Confirm that both paths require a nominal 50/50 ratio and define the permitted actual-ratio tolerance.
  4. Confirm LC/UPC on the input and both outputs, including the mating adapters and end-face inspection requirement.
  5. State the 0.9 mm lead construction, input/output lengths, length tolerance and port labels.
  6. Check the tube/package dimensions and routing constraints against the intended tray, box or test fixture.
  7. Approve the maximum IL, RL, directivity, excess-loss and any PDL/uniformity criteria for production—not only the shown sample result.
  8. Request the approved datasheet, drawing, test-report format and document revision before releasing the purchase order.

Differences from related products and owner pages

  • FBT splitter category: owns broad browsing, FBT terminology, coupling-ratio selection, packages and family-level RFQ guidance. This page must remain specific to the proposed OM3 1×2 LC/UPC 50/50 configuration.
  • 1×3–1×N LC/UPC SM/MM product: covers a broader port-count family and multiple fiber/ratio choices. It should not be copied into this 1×2 exact-SKU page.
  • 1×2 single-mode 50/50 bare-fiber product: differs in fiber mode, working window, lead protection and termination. Its loss, return-loss and environmental rows must not be inherited here.
  • PLC vs FBT guide: owns technology comparison and architecture selection. This product page should link to it only when the buyer still needs to choose the splitter technology.

Conditional use and non-fit conditions

This configuration may be considered for an approved multimode optical power-division or monitoring design at 850 nm after the responsible engineer verifies launch conditions, path loss, receiver limits, return-loss needs, host space and port identification.

Do not specify this page for a single-mode 1310/1490/1550 nm PON path, an OM4 requirement, an APC mating interface, a uniform high-port-count distribution design or any named system that has not been validated. These exclusions prevent a buyer from treating a visually similar splitter as interchangeable.

Testing and quality-control requirements

For sample or production approval, request a record tied to the exact model, revision and serial or lot. The acceptance plan should state:

  • source wavelength and launch condition;
  • test-reference method and equipment traceability;
  • port identity and actual coupling ratio;
  • insertion loss for both output paths;
  • return loss and directivity;
  • excess loss and, when required, PDL/uniformity;
  • connector end-face inspection criteria;
  • lead length, package, labeling and visual inspection;
  • pass/fail limits and disposition of deviations.

The photographed report supplies a useful sample record, but it does not define the production sampling plan, calibration status, revision-controlled limits or environmental qualification.

Packaging and procurement information

The supplied images show one device in a clear plastic tray with a printed product label and a photographed test report. Bulk packaging, label format, dust-cap requirement, packing quantity, export carton, MOQ, price, stock, lead time and warranty are TBC — source required.

Required information for an RFQ

Send:

  • proposed model/SKU or the photographed reference identifiers;
  • 1×2 configuration and nominal 50/50 ratio;
  • OM3 50/125 µm and required test wavelength;
  • LC/UPC input and output terminations;
  • input/output lead construction, length and tolerance;
  • permitted package dimensions and host/enclosure;
  • maximum IL, minimum RL/directivity, excess-loss and any PDL/uniformity limits;
  • quantity, delivery destination and required date;
  • required datasheet, drawing, test report and compliance documents;
  • application diagram or link budget when interoperability must be reviewed.

BWNFiber should return the confirmed model code, approved configuration, current specification/drawing, applicable acceptance evidence and quotation terms.

FAQ

1×2 OM3 FBT Splitter, 50/50, LC/UPC, 0.9 mm FAQ

What exact product does this page cover?

It covers a proposed 1×2 OM3 50/125 µm FBT splitter with a nominal 50/50 ratio, LC/UPC connectors and 0.9 mm leads, tested at 850 nm. The final web SKU must be reconciled with the identifiers on the photographed sample and report.

Are 3.04 dB and 3.12 dB guaranteed production limits?

No. They are measured insertion-loss values for the photographed sample. Production maxima and acceptance tolerances require an approved exact-SKU specification.

Does the sample report include connector loss?

The supplied draft says that it does, but the responsible engineer must confirm the test reference plane and report convention before that statement is published.

Is this product suitable for a single-mode PON link?

Not from the supplied evidence. This proposed configuration is OM3 multimode and the shown report is at 850 nm. Use an approved single-mode model for a single-mode 1310/1490/1550 nm design.

Is the standard lead length 0.3 m or 1 m?

The photographed part number contains 0.3M. The source draft's “order 1 m” statement has no separate supporting document. Confirm the sellable standard and input/output lengths before quotation or publication.

What should a buyer submit for a quotation?

Provide the ratio, OM3/850 nm requirement, LC/UPC interfaces, all lead lengths, package constraints, optical acceptance limits, quantity, destination, schedule and required approval documents.
