There is no such thing as the “most popular” fibre split, as every deployment of Fibre TAPs is unique to the environment it is being deployed in. The correct choice of split ratio (70:30, 60:40 etc.) is determined by a number of factors including cable length, device (NIC) launch values, number of devices in the chain (including the CriticalTAP) etc. as all of these will have a varying level of dB loss, which can affect the overall light budget and thus the performance of the solution.
