PLC Splitter 1:16 Connectorised SC/UPC – High-Performance Fibre Distribution
The PLC Splitter 1:16 SC/UPC is a high-quality optical power splitter designed for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), passive optical networks (PON), and data centre applications. With a 1×16 configuration and pre-terminated SC/UPC connectors, this splitter ensures seamless signal distribution from a single input fibre to 16 outputs with minimal loss and high uniformity.
Key Features
- 1:16 Split Ratio: Distributes one fibre input into 16 output branches
- Connectorised Design: Pre-terminated with SC/UPC connectors for plug-and-play setup
- Low Insertion Loss: Ensures efficient optical power transmission
- Wide Wavelength Range: Operates between 1260–1650nm
- High Stability: Suitable for indoor and outdoor passive network environments
- Compact Form Factor: Fits easily into distribution boxes, enclosures, or splice trays
- Singlemode Fibre: Engineered for high-precision signal routing and minimal attenuation
Ideal for FTTH and Passive Network Solutions
Designed for use in FTTH deployments, GPON/EPON networks, and LAN/WAN infrastructures, the PLC Splitter 1:16 with SC/UPC connectors plays a crucial role in branching optical signals to multiple subscribers. Whether you’re deploying it in a multi-dwelling unit (MDU), data centre rack, or outdoor cabinet, it guarantees performance, reliability, and ease of integration.
Connectorised for Convenience
The SC/UPC connectors are pre-installed to reduce installation time and eliminate splicing on-site. The UPC-polished ferrules offer low return loss and consistent mating for network-grade reliability. These connectors are universally accepted in telecom environments and ensure a secure, standardised fit with other SC components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PLC splitter 1:16 used for?
It splits a single fibre signal into 16 output fibres, commonly used in FTTH or PON to serve multiple subscribers from one source.
What is the difference between SC/UPC and SC/APC connectors?
SC/UPC connectors have a flat polish for lower insertion loss, while SC/APC connectors are angled to reduce return loss. This product uses SC/UPC for standard compatibility.
Can this splitter be used outdoors?
Yes, if installed in a weatherproof enclosure or box rated for outdoor use, it performs well in external network cabinets or poles.
