Product category
PLC splitters divide one optical input across up to 64 outputs with uniform loss, using a planar lightwave circuit etched into a glass chip. They are the passive heart of every PON: a single OLT port serves dozens of subscribers through a component that needs no power, cooling or maintenance in the field.
The planar chip guides light through a cascade of branching waveguides, giving consistent port-to-port uniformity across the full 1260–1650 nm transmission window and stable performance over outdoor temperature extremes. Packaging determines where the splitter fits: bare-fiber and steel-tube types splice into closures and boxes, ABS cassette and LGX modules slot into distribution boxes and frames, and rack-mount trays serve central offices. Devices are designed to align with ITU-T G.671 and the IEC 61753 performance categories.
Selection guide
Derive the split ratio from the optical link budget — a 1:32 split typically consumes about 17.5 dB, so higher ratios demand shorter reach or higher-class optics. Choose the package to match the enclosure it will live in, prefer SC/APC-connectorised modules where technicians will patch in the field, and reserve spliced bare-fiber types for the lowest-loss, set-and-forget points in the network.
Catalogue
Select up to three products to compare their typical specifications side by side.
ModelPSK-PLC-108Available
Planar lightwave circuit splitter dividing one optical input evenly across eight outputs, wavelength-flat over the full 1260–1650 nm PON band. Supplied bare, in ABS module, LGX cassette or rack-mount formats to suit any point in the ODN.
ModelPSK-PLC-116Available
Planar lightwave circuit splitter serving sixteen subscriber drops from a single PON feeder, wavelength-flat across 1260–1650 nm. Higher split density concentrates the ODN into fewer cabinets, in bare, ABS, LGX and rack formats.
Solutions
Operators extending fiber to the home must connect thousands of subscribers across feeder, distribution and drop layers while keeping per-home cost predictable. This solution covers the complete FTTH passive plant — from central-office termination through PLC split points to the subscriber terminal — with one coordinated product set.
View solutionInternet service providers must grow from hundreds to thousands of subscribers without re-engineering the plant at every stage. This solution structures the ISP access network — POP termination, feeder distribution and subscriber connection — so capacity is added by extension rather than replacement.
View solutionTelecom operators run distribution plant from the exchange to neighborhoods where environment, capacity and serviceability differ by segment. This solution matches each segment — exchange termination, outside-plant routes and street-level distribution — with the appropriate cable, frame and enclosure class.
