PLC Splitter


The PLC splitter, the short name of planar lightwave circuit splitter, is a popular style of fiber optic splitter used to divide an incoming optical signal into equal portions. Typical usages of our PLC splitter are in the FFTx system, MANs, WANs, CATV, and EPON.

Our PLC splitter has a wide bandwidth, suitable for signals with wavelengths ranging from 1,260nm to 1,650nm. Its output channel exhibits good uniformity. Available in different packages, this small-sized optical fiber splitter can be tailored to customer specific requirements. Different configurations such as 1×N, 2×N can be provided. The maximum channel number can reach 64.
