Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is a type of optical power management device that is fabricated using silica optical waveguide technology to distribute optical signals from Central Office (CO) to multiple premise locations. PLC splitters are commonly found in PON(Passive Optical Networks), Datacom, LAN(Local Area Networks), CATV(Cable TV), LCP(Local Convergence Points), FTTx, and more applications, suitable for communication, medical, bank, building, large Office buildings, offices and other places with high-quality network requirements. LGX cassette splitter is most commonly used to provide full protection for internal optics and cables. With its small size, high reliability, and wide operating wavelength range, it is widely used in PON networks to achieve a low-cost solution for optical signal power distribution.

Product Highlights
1x 16 PLC Fiber Splitter, Standard LGX Cassette, LC/APC, Singlemode
.svg)
With compact structure and bending insensitive cables, the LGX Cassette Splitter takes less distortion during use, which ensures reliable optical transmission.
Bend Insensitive Fiber
G.657A1 cables with 10mm min.bend radius allow tighter or bending cable routing.
Nano-zirconia Ceramic Ferrules
Nano-zirconia ceramic ferrules provide 13.7dB max.IL and 55dB min.RL.
Toolless installation
Fast deployment, factory terminated modular system saves much space, installation time and cost.
PLC splitters enable the transmission power at each splitter output port to be the same, which simplifies the network design and reduces the costs.
Optical splitter has played an important role in passive optical networks (like EPON, GPON, BPON, FTTX, FTTH, etc.) by allowing a single PON Interface to be shared among many subscribers.
