Blockless PLC Splitter
Fiber Optic PLC Splitter plays a crucial role in distributing optical signals.
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.
Extra Description
A Blockless Fiber PLC Splitter is a type of optical splitter that utilizes a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) chip to divide a single optical input into multiple outputs. It is called “blockless” because it does not require a separate housing or block to protect the splitter chip. Instead, it features a compact and robust design that integrates the splitter chip directly into the fiber optic cable itself.
Features:
- Uniform power splitting
- Compact package dimension
- Low polarization-dependent loss
- Good channel-to-channel uniformity
- Low Insertion Loss and High Return Loss
- Environmentally and mechanically stable
- Wide operating wavelength range from 1260nm to 1650nm
Applications:
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Networks
- Data Centers
- Telecommunication Networks
Standards:
- Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221
