The main thrust of this study is to design and implement a locally-manufactured cross coupler, which physically joins together two optical fibers that will fabricate fused WDM couplers with two inputs and two outputs (2 X 2). Emphasis is given on cost cutting. It is therefore proposed that locally-available parts be used in lieu of the high-priced equipment that is already existing. Various fields such as education, research and industry would surely benefit from this study. Specific area of application is local area network communication and computer communication. This study aim to make an affordable cross coupler.
