Key Steps in the Grinding Process for Optical Splitters The grinding process for optical splitters involves several essential steps: endface cutting, cleaning, rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing, and inspection. It can distribute the optical energy transmitted through a single fiber to two or more fibers in a predetermined ratio or combine the optical energy from multiple fibers into one fiber. By ensuring. many aspects of a Fiber to the X (FTTx) network. conversations and confusion in the industry. A splitter is. Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear. Either joining method must have three primary characteristics.
