PLC Splitter 1:4 SC/UPC – Compact Fibre Signal Splitter for FTTH

The PLC Splitter 1:4 SC/UPC from Attac is a reliable and efficient solution for fibre optic signal distribution in FTTH, FTTx, PON, and GPON networks. Based on Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology, this splitter divides one input fibre signal evenly into four SC/UPC output channels with minimal signal loss and high uniformity.

Key Features

• 1:4 Split Ratio: Balanced signal distribution from one input to four outputs
• Connectorised: Pre-terminated with SC/UPC connectors
• Wavelength Range: Operates from 1260–1650nm
• Low Insertion Loss: High optical efficiency per port
• Low Polarisation Dependent Loss (PDL): Stable signal performance
• High Repeatability: Flat-polished SC/UPC connectors ensure reliable mating
• Plug-and-Play: Quick installation without field termination
• Standards Compliance: Meets IEC and Telcordia GR-1209/1221 specifications

Perfect for Access and Distribution Networks

This PLC splitter 1:4 SC/UPC is ideal for last-mile fibre optic deployments, including access networks in homes, offices, MDUs, and business parks. It is compact, field-ready, and designed for use in rack-mounted enclosures, wall boxes, or optical distribution frames (ODFs).

SC/UPC Connector Benefits

The SC/UPC connectors provide consistent performance with low insertion loss and return loss values suitable for standard single-mode applications. The UPC polish delivers a reliable optical interface without the high back-reflection characteristics of APC connectors, making it cost-effective and widely compatible.

Applications

• FTTH and FTTx deployments
• GPON and EPON access networks
