Our 1×4 PLC Splitter is a high-performance, cost-effective passive optical component designed for efficient fiber signal distribution in FTTH, FTTB, FTTX, and PON networks. Engineered with precision and durability, this splitter evenly divides one input optical signal into four output signals with minimal insertion loss and excellent uniformity.
Housed in a compact, durable form factor and pre-terminated with SC/APC connectors, the 1×4 PLC Splitter ensures seamless integration with fiber enclosures, patch panels, and optical distribution frames. It’s ideal for both central office and outdoor distribution points in fiber access networks.
What is a 1×4 PLC Splitter?
A 1×4 PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) Splitter is a passive optical device used to split one incoming optical signal into four outgoing signals. It uses planar waveguide technology to ensure precise and stable signal transmission across all output channels. This splitter is essential in modern optical access networks, especially in Passive Optical Networks (PON) where fiber signals must be distributed to multiple users.
Key Technical Advantages:
- Low insertion loss
- Excellent channel uniformity
- Wide operating wavelength range (1260–1650 nm)
- High return loss
- Compact structure, easy installation
- Long-term reliability under diverse environmental conditions

- Excellent temperature stability: Operates reliably in harsh environments
Applications
The 1×4 PLC Splitter is widely used in various fiber optic network applications:
- FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments
- FTTP, FTTB, and FTTX broadband distribution
- PON/GPON/EPON networks
- Local Area Networks (LAN)
- CATV and video distribution systems
- Test equipment and instrumentation
- Telecommunication central offices and outside plant cabinets
Whether you’re building a new access network or upgrading an existing one, the 1×4 PLC Splitter offers an efficient and economical solution for fiber signal branching.
