Description:
A Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitter is an optical power management device manufactured via silica optical waveguide technology, engineered to evenly distribute optical signals from a Central Office (CO) to multiple end-user premise locations.
The blockless PLC splitter—a compact evolution of the cassette splitter—boasts enhanced fiber protection compared to bare fiber splitters. Its streamlined design makes it ideal for integration into a wide range of optical connection boxes, fiber distribution boxes, and network cabinets.
This splitter is particularly well-suited for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) access networks, FTTB (Fiber to the Building) deployments, and enterprise LAN backbone cabling systems, where space efficiency and reliable signal distribution are critical requirements. It also supports the high-density wiring demands of telecom central offices and data center optical distribution frames.
