1×16 PLC Splitter SM G.657A SC/APC 2.0mm 1m

The 1×16 PLC Splitter SM G.657A SC/APC 2.0mm 1m – CONNECTICO (Part number: CO-S-PL-116-BB-2000-SCA) from FCA is a PLC type with a SC /APC connector and 1×16 configuration. Fiber optic splitters are passive component that split the fiber and its signal. The signal is sent along of fiber and when it reached a fiber optic splitter, the signal is divided into two or more signals.

Optical couplers, otherwise known as splitters, are passive devices that distribute optical power. They are designed to split or combine the received signal, providing it with one or more outputs.

Manufactured using the PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) method, they provide a high standard for applications in high-density locations. They are used in P2MP and WDM networks, where the optical signal coming from the central facility, with different power and length, is divided among many subscribers.

Optical splitters are characterised by high reliability, stability and directivity, while ensuring low insertion loss. They are terminated with any type of connector and come in several housing versions.

Application

• telecommunications network infrastructure
• passive and active xWDM, CATV network devices
• passive and active FTTx network devices

Characteristics

• Power splitter made in PLC planar technology
• PLC technology allows better transmission parameters and smaller size than FBT welded technology
• uniform distribution of input signal power among many outputs
• combining signal from many inputs to one output
• point-to-multipoint signal transmission in tree topology networks
• wide optical window ensures parameters stability in the whole band 1260 to 1650 nm
