1X2 1X8 1X16 1x32 Tap Plc Bare Fiber Compact Low Insertion Loss Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter
1X2 1X8 1X16 1x32 PLC Tap Bare Fiber Compact PLC Tap Low Insertion Loss Wide Operating Wavelengths
A PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter is a passive optical component used in fiber optic networks to divide a single optical signal into multiple output signals.
Product Overview
The Compact Bare Fiber PLC Splitter Tap is engineered with advanced Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology to deliver efficient and reliable optical signal distribution. Available in multiple splitting ratios (1×2, 1×8, 1×16, 1×32), this series is ideal for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), Data Center Interconnect (DCI), 5G transmission networks, and other high-density fiber optic distribution scenarios. Featuring a bare fiber design and ultra-compact packaging, it seamlessly integrates into fiber distribution frames, splice closures, or miniaturized optical modules, making it perfect for space-constrained deployments.
Key Features
Ultra-Low Insertion Loss
Utilizes high-uniformity PLC chips and precision fusion splicing, achieving industry-leading insertion loss (typical values: 1×2 ≤3.8dB, 1×32 ≤17.5dB) to minimize power degradation and maximize signal transmission efficiency.
Wide Operating Wavelength Range
Supports full-band compatibility from 1260nm to 1650nm, covering O/E/S/C/L/U bands for single-mode fiber communication. Ideal for multi-system applications like CWDM/DWDM, GPON/XGS-PON, and future network upgrades.
Exceptional Stability & Reliability
Silica-based PLC chip ensures superior thermal stability (-40°C to +85°C) and long-term performance. Adhesive-free optical path design eliminates aging risks,
guaranteeing a service life exceeding 20 years.
Space-Saving Design
Compact footprint (typical size for 1×32: ≤60mm×6mm×4mm) with bare fiber outputs reduces installation space, enabling high-density fiber management in data center racks, DAS, and other space-sensitive environments.
Customization Flexibility
Customizable options include fiber types (G.652D, G.657A1), connector types (bare fiber/pigtailed/adapters), and splitting ratios. Special packaging (armored, waterproof) is available upon request.
