The PLC Splitter series (1×2, 1×4, 1×8, 1×16) is engineered using high-precision Planar Lightwave Circuit technology to provide accurate and stable optical signal distribution across the 1260–1650 nm wavelength range. Designed for single-mode G.657A fibers, these splitters ensure low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent uniformity, and minimal PDL for reliable performance in FTTX, PON, CATV, and telecom networks. Available in compact ABS or LGX module housings, they support easy installation in ODFs, splice closures, and distribution cabinets for small to high-density optical network applications.
