OP38S8S
Scalable 8x8 Optical Splitter/Combiner
The ARRIS unique scalable 8x8 splitter/combiner module provides optimum versatility in minimum rack space to meet a variety of
network configuration requirements for optical splitting and combining functions. When fully loaded, ARRIS’s CH3000 chassis holds
16 half-depth modules; its packaging concept also permits mounting in any standard LGX chassis. Several examples of how the
module can be configured for the combining and splitting of broadcast and narrowcast signals are shown on the following page.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
• Maximum flexibility for configuration of splitter/
combiner functions
• Low insertion loss
• Dual operating wavelength windows (1310 nm and
1550 nm)
• High port-to-port uniformity
• SC/APC connectors ensure performance repeatability,
compatibility and easy installation and maintenance
• Removable connectors for easy cleaning
• High packaging density (up to 16 modules per chassis)
