The 1×8 PLC Splitter is a compact, high-performance passive optical component designed to evenly distribute or combine optical signals in FTTH, FTTX, and PON applications. This fiber optic splitter features one input fiber and eight output fibers, making it ideal for network expansions and signal distribution in passive optical networks. Each output can be terminated with SC/APC connectors as per user requirements for seamless plug-and-play deployment.
Our 1×8 PLC Splitter uses advanced planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology to ensure low insertion loss, excellent signal uniformity, and long-term performance. It operates efficiently across a wide wavelength range from 1260nm to 1650nm, making it suitable for a variety of single-mode fiber transmission scenarios.
Key Features of the 1×8 PLC Splitter
- Low Insertion Loss and PDL: Engineered for precision signal splitting with minimal power loss.
- Excellent Channel Uniformity: Ensures consistent performance across all eight channels.
- Broad Wavelength Range: Supports wavelengths from 1260nm to 1650nm, compatible with most PON standards.
- High Stability: Designed with Telcordia GR-1221 and GR-1209 compliance for reliable operation in harsh environments.
- Compact Blockless Design: The steel-tube style splitter enables space-saving installations without sacrificing performance.
- Minimum Bend Radius: Built with G657A1 or G652D fiber, offering up to a 10mm bend radius for flexible routing.
- Connector Flexibility: Assembled with SC/APC connectors; custom options are available upon request.
Whether you’re building a FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network or expanding a GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) system, the 1×8 PLC Splitter is engineered to provide optimal reliability and performance in high-density fiber environments.
