1x8 PLC Cascade Type Fiber Splitter with SC/UPC SC/APC Optical Connector

Description PLC Splitter 1X8

Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter (PLC) is used in passive optical networks (PON) to split the signal of one incoming optical fiber into multiple outgoing fibers.The number of outgoing fibers (signal receivers) can vary from 2 to 128. 

Features of the Considering the rather wide wavelength range (1260nm - 1650nm) in which PLC dividers work and the minimum attenuation rates at the port, the use of these devices significantly expands the possibilities for deploying complex PON networks.

Despite the fact that the number of pins for planar dividers can theoretically be any (in the range from 2 to 128), there are standard sets of pins: 

a) for Y-shaped dividers - 1X2, 1X4, 1X8, 1X16, 1X32, 1X64, 1X128. 

b) for X-shaped dividers - 2X2, 2X4, ....  

Y-dividers are widely used in the construction of PON networks.X-shaped dividers are less common.The manufacture of non-standard planar dividers is associated with certain technological difficulties - it is necessary to make a chip to order, which is not economically justified.

This type of planar divider is equipped with SC/UPC connectors.

Benefits The range of acceptable wavelengths is very wide (1260-1650 nm).Description of the PLC splitter 1X32 PLC splitter 1X32 or planar splitter (Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter) is intended for physical distribution of traffic in PON - passive fiber-optic network.It is one of its main components, but does not require power for its operation, and can be operated in a wide temperature range.Unlike welded ones, planar dividers have better attenuation per optical port, and the operating wavelength ranges from 1260 nm to 1650 nm.

Insertion loss is low (up to 10.5dB on average). Back reflection is low. The maximum polarization loss (PDL) is quite low (0.25 dB (max)). The output signal is fairly uniform. Very high reliability.
