Understanding the Basic Types of PLC Optical Splitters
日期:2024-08-02 05:55:26
The PLC optical splitter can evenly distribute a single input optical signal to multiple output ports. It is one of the crucial passive components in fiber optic networks and is widely used in technologies such as EPON, GPON, and BPON. Compared to FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) splitters, PLC optical splitters offer superior performance by achieving efficient splitting with minimal loss. Common PLC optical splitter configurations include 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, 1×64, 2×8, 2×16, 2×32, and 2×64. With such a variety of PLC optical splitters available, do you know how to choose the right one?



Micro-sealed PLC optical splitter
 
 

The micro-sealed PLC optical splitter uses a compact stainless steel tube packaging, and the fiber ends are terminated with common connectors such as SC, LC, FC, and ST. Due to its small size, the micro-sealed PLC optical splitter is suitable for installation within optical cable splice boxes and module boxes.


ABS box-type PLC optical splitter
 
 

The ABS box-type PLC optical splitter uses a plastic box to protect the PLC splitter and is suitable for installation in various distribution cabinets or enclosures. Installing the ABS box-type PLC optical splitter in a standard 19-inch rack unit is a common practice.


Plug-in box-type PLC optical splitter
 
 

The plug-in box-type PLC optical splitter is typically installed in wall-mounted FTTH optical cable distribution boxes to achieve efficient optical signal distribution. Its compact design allows for quick installation in limited spaces, facilitating the smooth deployment of FTTx projects.


Rack-mounted PLC optical splitter
 
 

The rack-mounted PLC optical splitter is suitable for applications such as FTTx, CATV, and data centers. It is specifically designed and manufactured for standard racks, fully complying with the installation requirements of 19-inch standard communication cabinets.

 




These different types of PLC optical splitters each have their own characteristics and are suitable for various network deployment and application needs. When choosing, factors such as the actual application environment, installation requirements, maintenance convenience, and budget should be considered.
