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 central office to customer premises in FTTx and FTTH networks.
PLC Splitter offers a cost effective and space saving networking solution in optical transmission system.
Plastic Box PLC Splitters packaged in a ABS box is with standard 2.0mm or 3.0mm fiber cable. Plastic Box PLC Splitters as passive optical splitters are widely used for FTTH Passive Optical Network, including EPON (as EPON Splitter) and GPON (as GPON Splitter) .
PLC Splitters are available in a variety of port configurations, including 1×2 splitter, 1×4 splitter, 1×8 splitter, 1×16 splitter, 1×32 splitter, 1×64 splitter, etc.
