HIGH DENSITY OPTICAL SPLITTER WITH EXTERNAL FANOUT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019636 titled 'HIGH DENSITY OPTICAL SPLITTER WITH EXTERNAL FANOUT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an optical splitter assembly that is used to split an input signal from an input optical fiber into multiple output signals. The assembly includes an optical splitter module with an input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and a splitter device that splits the input signal into output signals directed into the output optical fibers. External fanout devices are also included, which are located outside of the optical splitter module. The input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and splitter device are all contained within the internal volume of the optical splitter module. The output optical fibers extend out of the module to the external fanout devices, and individual output optical fibers are separate from each other.

  • The optical splitter assembly is designed to split an input signal from an optical fiber into multiple output signals.
  • It includes an optical splitter module with an input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and a splitter device.
  • The splitter device splits the input signal into output signals directed into the output optical fibers.
  • External fanout devices are provided outside of the optical splitter module.
  • The input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and splitter device are contained within the internal volume of the optical splitter module.
  • The output optical fibers extend out of the module to the external fanout devices.
  • Individual output optical fibers are separate from each other.

Potential Applications:

  • Telecommunications networks
  • Fiber optic communication systems
  • Data centers
  • Optical signal distribution systems

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently splitting an input signal into multiple output signals
  • Managing and organizing optical fibers within a compact assembly
  • Facilitating easy connection and distribution of optical signals

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency in signal splitting and distribution
  • Compact and organized design for space-saving installations
  • Simplified connection and management of optical fibers
  • Improved performance and reliability in optical communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

an optical splitter assembly for splitting an input signal from an input optical fiber is provided. the optical splitter assembly includes an optical splitter module having an input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and a splitter device configured to split the input signal from the input optical fiber into output signals that are each directed into one of the output optical fibers. the optical splitter assembly also includes external fanout devices that are provided outside of the optical splitter module. the optical splitter module defines an internal volume. the input optical fiber, the output optical fibers, and the splitter device are provided in the internal volume. one or more groupings of output optical fibers extend out of the optical splitter module to an external fanout device. individual output optical fibers extend out of each of the external fanout devices with the individual output optical fibers being separate from each other.
