Summary:An optical combiner for a communications network transmitting both upstream signals and a downstream optical signal. The communications network includes an array of amplifiers, each receiving a respective instance of the downstream optical signal. The output of each amplifier is split among a plurality of ports in a first splitter/combiner unit. The first splitter/combiner unit transmits the amplified downstream optical signal to respective second splitter/combiner units. L'invention concerne un combinateur optique d'un réseau de communications qui émet à la fois des signaux amont et un signal optique aval. Le réseau de communications comprend un réseau d'amplificateurs, recevant chacun une instance respective du signal optique aval. La sortie de chaque amplificateur est répartie entre une pluralité de ports dans une première unité de division/combinaison. La première unité de division/combinaison émet le signal optique aval amplifié aux secondes unités de division/combinaison respectives.
