Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is an optical power distribution device based on the integrated waveguide of quartz plate. With the features of small size, wide range of operating wavelength, stable reliability and good uniformity, It’s widely used in PON,ODN,FTTX point to connect between termination device and central office to achieve the signal splitter.


Application

The bare PLC splitter can allow a single GPON network interface to be shared among many subscribers and allow service providers to enable bandwidth-intensive applications. The following figure shows 1X8 bare PLC fiber splitter interconnected with GPON OLT and ONT through fiber optic splice closure.

Simple and Easy Connection

Bare PLC splitter can be easily installed in fiber splice closure or joint box for space saving.

Best Alternative for FTTx Solution

Being installed in an outside plant enclosure, PON splitter is used to distribute or combine optical signals, which gives carriers the ability to split optical signals to multiple homes or businesses.
