Standard lead color coding for a 1x2 or 2x2 coupler: The orange lead designates the primary input, blue designates the primary output. Secondary input and output fibers are natural. For a non 50/50 coupling ratio, the larger percentage coupling ratio will always be on the blue lead. For example, in a 10/90 coupler, 10% will be on the natural lead and 90% will be on the blue lead.

Standard lead color coding for WDMs: In a 1310/1550nm Wavelength Division Multiplexer/Demultiplexer, blue designates the 1550nm wavelength, or the higher wavelength port; and natural designates the 1310nm wavelength port or the lower wavelength. The orange lead designates the common port.

All of Gould's package enclosures accommodate a variety of coupler configurations. Each package has a serial number for complete traceability. Input/output ports are marked alphanumerically on the front panel and can be either buffered fiber leads or bulkhead connectors. The enclosures withstand an operating temperature range of -20 to +70°C. All enclosures are well-suited for table top applications and feed-through holes can be drilled to allow for permanent installation. Lead length for 900 micron loose tube and Kevlar™ reinforced leads is 0.5 meter.

Gould's coupler products can be packaged in a variety of packaging options for couplers in central office and outside plant environments. The polycarbonate coupler organizers are stackable for port configurations of 1 x 16 and 1 x 32. The trays can be easily modified to be compatible with many industry standard fiber management systems and are available with various connector styles. A mini splice tray is easily added to the coupler housing for splice protection and easy access in the field.
