Fiber Optic PLC Splitter is an essential passive component in Fiber to the Home network.
The full name of PLC Splitter is Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter. It adopts silica optical waveguide technology and is used for optical power allocation from the central office to customer premises in FTTx and FTTH networks.
PLC Splitter offers a cost-effective and space-saving networking solution in an optical transmission system.
Bare Fiber PLC Splitters are not terminated with fiber optic connectors and could be spliced with optical fibers in distribution cables and drop cables. Bare Fiber PLC Splitters are widely used for FTTH Passive Optical Network as passive optical splitters, including EPON (as EPON Splitter) and GPON (as GPON Splitter).
PLC Splitters are available in a variety of port configurations, including 1×2 PLC Splitter, 1×4 PLC Splitter, 1×8 PLC Splitter, 1×16 PLC Splitter, 1×32 PLC Splitter, 1×64 PLC Splitter, etc.
Applications:
- Telecommunication networks
- PON (Passive Optical Network)
- FTTX, FTTH (Fiber to the Home)
Standards:
- Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221
