    Abstract: Field-configurable optical devices and methods are disclosed. In one example, a field-configurable optical device includes a housing defining an enclosure, a splitter disposed within the enclosure and having one or more splitter inputs and a plurality of splitter outputs, and a plurality of couplers within the enclosure. The field-configurable optical device includes a plurality of sets of split-ratio selection ports located at an exterior of the housing. The plurality of sets of split-ratio selection ports and the plurality of couplers are configured such that the power split ratio of the field-configurable optical device is established by connecting an input optical fiber to the coupler input port of a selected set of split-ratio selection ports, and connecting a pass-through optical fiber to the coupler pass-through port of the selected set of split-ratio selection ports.
