Abstract
A fiber optic data distributor utilizes a one-by-n single mode optical fiber directional coupler to distribute data from a single fiber to a plurality of separate fibers. The separate fibers may supply data from a central processing unit to peripheral units, which may also input data to the separate fibers for transmission to the central processing unit.
