Splitter FPLC 1x9 (50% / 8x6.25%) SC/APC SM G.657A1 0.9mm (STEEL BOX)

Optical splitter, in addition to OLT and ONT units, is one of the basic elements found in passive optical networks (PON). The task of splitters is to divide the optical path, and thus the transmission power, symmetrically or asymmetrically. They are completely passive elements, which means they do not require any energy source for their operation. Thanks to the use of splitters, it is possible to provide Internet access, television and telephony (Triple Play) services to up to 128 subscribers in GPON networks via a single fibre.

Fibre optic splitters can be divided into several types. We distinguish between splitters of the following types:

• FBT (Fused Biconical Taper)
• PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit)
• FPLC (Non-uniform Planar Lightwave Circuit)

OPTO's FPLC splitters are a group of optical components that combine the features of FBT and PLC splitters. The transmission is split asymmetrically, with most of the power going to one of the outputs and the rest split symmetrically between the other fibres. The combination of the two technologies allows for more flexible and individualised signal management of the fibre network. FPLC splicers are used in passive optical networks where it is required to deliver signals of different power to several network segments. They operate in the full wavelength range of 1260~1650nm.  They are available in ABS and STEEL housings. ABS enclosures made of tough plastic create a durable design, dedicated for use in switchgear or areas subject to damage. The compact steel enclosures provide high strength and resistance to harsh installation conditions. Their small size allows splitters to be installed in splice couplers or splice trays. FPLC splitters are available without connector terminations (designed for splicing) or with SC/APC connectors.
