Latest PLC Splitter in Splitter Technology
Fiber optic splitter enables a signal on an optical fiber to be splitted to two or more fibers. And the PLC splitter (Planar Lightwave Circuit) puts a huge step forward in splitter technology.
PLC Splitter Features
-Are developed using silica glass waveguide circuits and aligned fiber pigtails that are integrated into a miniature package.
-Used to distribute or combine optical signals based on the planar lightwave circuit technology.
-Provide a low-cost solution for optical signal distribution, with a very small form factor and superb reliability.
-Offer a better solution for applications where larger split configurations are required. To achieve this, waveguides are fabricated using lithography into a silica glass substrate that allows for routing specific percentages of light. As a result, PLC splitters offer accurate and even splits with minimal loss in the efficiency package.
Types of PLC Splitter
PLC splitter can be built using a variety of single mode and multi-mode optical fibers with most common optical connector types for various applications. In general, there are bare PLC splitter, PLC splitter with fan out, blockless PLC splitter and rack mount PLC splitter.
Bare PLC Splitter
They are used for small spaces and can easily be placed in formal the joint boxes and fiber optic splice closure.
PLC Splitter with Fan Out
They are mainly used for the 0.9mm optical fiber where the ribbon fiber can be converted into 0.9mm optical fiber through fan out. The fiber adapters can be provided both for the input and output ends of these splitters.
Blockless PLC Splitter
They use PLC and package technology in order to split one wavelength into many ports.
Rack Mount PLC Splitter
It is a key component of the FTTH, and it is responsible for distributing signals from CO to numbers of premises.
PLC splitter is installed in each optical network between the PON Optical Line Terminal and the Optical Network Terminals that the OLT serves. In place of optical splitters, a WDM PON network will make use of an Arrayed Wave Guide. With the rapid growth of the FTTx worldwide, the requirements for large splitter configurations in the networks have grown in order to preserve mass subscription. Due to the performance benefits and overall cost to deploy, PLC splitter is now the ideal solution for these types of applications.
Available split counts are: 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32, 1x64, 2x2, 2x4, 2x8, 2x16, 2x32, 2x64. Connectorized PLC Splitters are available with common fiber cable connectors like LC/SC/FC/ST. en.OFweek is a B2B platform for telecom field, especially in optical communication, have customers from all over the world, sourcing now!
