PLC Splitter
1. HiOSO PLC splitter is a planar lightwave circuit splitter used as a part of Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). It is also a passive component that connects OLT with ONU. Its function is to distribute downlink data and integrate uplink data.
2. The optical splitter comes with one uplink fiber port and several downlink fiber ports. Optical signals from the uplink fiber port are distributed to all downlink fiber ports. Optical signals from the downlink fiber port are distributed to the sole uplink fiber port.
3. When the optical signals are transmitted from one uplink fiber port to downlink fiber ports, optical power will be lowered, and vice versa. Optical signal strength from all downlink fiber ports can be the same or different.
4. The PLC splitter is mounted in a fiber distribution box indoors or outdoors. A second-level or multilevel splitter is supported in case of insufficient fiber resources or the dispersed distribution of MDU.
5. This fiber-optic communication equipment supports the maximum splitting ratio up to 1:32.It has numerous advantages such as small size, wide wavelength range, low insertion loss, low PDL, high return loss, uniform splitting ratio, and more.
