Fiber Optic PLC Splitter

PLC(Planar Lightwave Circuit)splitters are used to distribute or combine optical signals.It is  based on planar lightwave circuit technology and provides a low cost light distribution solution with small form factor and high reliability

PLC Splitters are installed in each optical network between the PON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and the Optical Network Terminals  (ONTs) that the OLT serves. Networks implementing BPON, GPON, EPON, 10G EPON, and 10G GPON technologies all use these simple optical splitters. In place of an optical splitter, a WDM PONnetwork will use an Arrayed WaveGuide (AWG).

Passive Optical Network (PON) splitters play an important role in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks by allowing a single PON network interface to be shared among many subscribers. Splitters contain no electronics and use no power. They are the network elements that put the passive in Passive Optical Network and are available in a variety of split ratios, including 1:8, 1:16, 1:32 1:64,2:8, 2:16, 2:32 & 2:64.
