PLC Optical Splitter
Introduction
PLC Optical Splitter
- PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuits) splitters are developed using silica glass waveguide circuits and aligned fiber pigtails, integrated inside a miniature package.
- PLC splitters provide low-cost solutions for optical signal distribution, with a small form factor and superb reliability.
- The PLCs devices have 1×4, 1×8, 1×16, and 1×32 standard configurations, as well as customized structures of 2×4, 2×32, and 2×64.
- These products meet or exceed Telcordia GR-1209-CORE and GR-1221-CORE reliability qualification requirements.
Features
- Low insertion loss
- Various coupling ratio
- high return loss and excellent uniformity.
- Low Polarization dependent loss
- Environmental stable
- Operation wavelength: 1260mm to 1650nm
- Operating Temperature:-40°C to 85°C
Application
- FTTx systems
- Optical LAN, Metro, and WAN networks
- Passive optical networks
- CATV networks
