Entry-level OLTs may start from several thousand dollars, while enterprise-grade solutions can reach tens of thousands. The total cost consideration must include factors such as power consumption, cooling requirements, rack space utilization, and scalability options. Two primary splitter types dominate FTTH: FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) splitters (low-cost, ideal for small splits like 1:2 or 1:4) and PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitters (highly uniform, preferred for large splits like 1:32 or 1:64). In addition, larger splits allow more flexibility and fiber management at head end is simpler. It looks like your OLT supports up to 64 subs per port, so you're just looking at making sure you're not degrading the optics too much. 1x4 into. In the application of one-stage splitting in the FTTH network, the optical splitter can be centrally installed at the central station, but in order to save the cost of the fiber, the optical splitter is usually installed between the OLT and the ONU. The central station and the optical splitter are.
