A PLC splitter, or planer lightwave circuit splitter, is one of the most important passive devices in optical fiber links. It has multi input and output ports to split optical signals, and it is particularly suitable for EPON, GPON and BPON.
Feature
1. Our PLC coupler shows low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss and good directivity (55dB), and it makes use of Korean chip to realize high uniformity.
2. The PLC splitter is resistant to mechanical impact, and it could work under harsh environment. In addition, it can be outfitted with FC, SC or LC connectors as per customer.
Classification and Application
1. Rack mount PLC splitter: It is recommended when 19-inch OLT enclosure or standard network cabinet is used in fiber network, or ODN needs to be placed on the desk.
2. ABS box type PLC splitter: It is used when standard 19-inch network cabinet, splice box or a specified installation device is used.
3. PLC splitter with bare fiber: It is often installed in pigtail boxes, test instruments and WDM system.
4. PLC splitter as component: It is utilized at access points of FTTx systems where optical splitting is needed, such as terminal box.
5. PLC splitter tray: It is applicable for WDM systems. One-layer tray fits for 1×16 configurations at the most, while two-layer tray fits for 1×32.
