Looking for a reliable and high-performance 1×2 PLC Splitter for your fiber optic network? Our 1×2 PLC Fiber Optic Splitter with SC/APC connectors is a fully passive, compact device designed for splitting one optical input signal into two balanced outputs with minimal loss and maximum reliability. Ideal for FTTx, PON, CATV, LAN, and data center applications, this splitter delivers low insertion loss and exceptional environmental stability, making it a critical component in any fiber optic distribution system.
What is a 1×2 PLC Splitter?
A 1×2 PLC Splitter (Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter) is an optical power management device based on silica optical waveguide technology. It takes one input fiber and evenly splits the signal into two output fibers. This technology ensures stable optical performance over a broad wavelength range (1260~1650nm), excellent uniformity, and compact size, all while maintaining low polarization-dependent loss (PDL) and low insertion loss.
Our splitter is designed using G.657A1 bend-insensitive fiber, making it suitable for installations in limited-space environments and enabling tighter cable routing with a minimum bend radius of just 10mm.
Key Features of Our 1×2 PLC Splitter
- Low Insertion Loss (≤4.2dB) – Ensures minimal signal degradation during transmission
- Low Polarization Dependent Loss (≤0.2dB) – Delivers stable signal quality under varying conditions
- SC/APC Connectors – Industry-standard green connectors for low reflectance and secure coupling
- Broad Operating Wavelength (1260~1650nm) – Supports most singlemode fiber optic applications
- Compact Blockless Design – Easily fits in wall-mounted boxes, fiber trays, and optical distribution units
- Bend-Insensitive G.657A1 Fiber – Ideal for installations in tight or crowded spaces
- Compliant with Telcordia GR-1221 and GR-1209 – High mechanical and environmental reliability
- Fully Passive Operation – No power supply required, maintenance-free
- RoHS and REACH Compliant – Environmentally safe materials for global deployment
- Plug-and-Play Ready – Quick integration into existing networks with pre-installed SC/APC connectors

Applications of the 1×2 PLC Splitter
The 1×2 PLC Splitter is a foundational element in various fiber optic communication systems, offering efficient and cost-effective optical signal distribution. It is commonly used in:
- FTTX (Fiber to the X) – Including FTTH (home), FTTB (building), and FTTP (premises)
- PON (Passive Optical Networks) – GPON, EPON, and other architectures
- Data Centers – For structured cabling and network signal branching
- CATV Systems – Ensures equal signal distribution across multiple outputs
- Local Area Networks (LANs) – Supports internal signal routing
- Test Equipment – For signal monitoring, diagnostics, and lab applications
With its compact blockless steel tube packaging, this splitter is particularly well-suited for pigtail cassettes, fiber termination boxes, and tight-access panels, allowing seamless deployment even in space-constrained environments.
