PLC Splitter 1:8 LC/APC – Precision Fibre Signal Distribution

The Attac PLC Splitter 1:8 LC/APC is a high-quality passive optical splitter designed for fibre network environments such as FTTH, GPON, and PON. Built with Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology, it ensures equal signal distribution from one input to eight LC/APC outputs with minimal insertion loss and optimal return loss performance.

Its factory-terminated LC/APC connectors feature an 8° angled polish that minimises signal reflection, making this splitter ideal for high-density, high-bandwidth environments where performance is critical.

Key Features

• Split Ratio: 1 input to 8 LC/APC outputs
• Connector Type: LC/APC – Angled polish for superior return loss
• Plug-and-Play: Pre-terminated and ready for installation
• Low Insertion Loss: Uniform signal splitting with minimal loss
• High Return Loss: Excellent reflection suppression for clean signals
• Wavelength Range: Operates across 1260–1650nm
• Standards: IEC and Telcordia GR-1209/1221 compliant
• Application: Compatible with ODFs, rack enclosures, and fibre boxes

Where to Use This PLC Splitter

The plc splitter 1:8 lc/apc is ideal for passive optical networks (PON) where uniform signal distribution and minimal optical loss are required. Its compact design fits easily into fibre management systems, enabling quick deployment in any fibre infrastructure.

Common Applications

• FTTH (Fibre to the Home)
• GPON and EPON networks
• ISP backbone distribution
• Telecommunication access layers
• Central office and building distribution points

Benefits of LC/APC Connectors

LC/APC connectors are engineered to offer high return loss (≥60dB), reducing back-reflection and interference. This makes them well suited for IPTV, VoIP, and ultra-fast internet services.
