PLC Splitter 1:4 LC/APC – Low-Loss Fibre Signal Distribution
The PLC Splitter 1:4 LC/APC from Attac is a compact and high-precision solution for evenly distributing optical signals in FTTH, GPON, and FTTx networks. Built using Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology, this splitter divides one input into four uniform outputs, maintaining low insertion loss and minimal back reflection.
Key Features
- Split Ratio: 1 input to 4 LC/APC outputs
- Connector Type: Factory pre-terminated LC/APC (angled polish)
- Wavelength Range: 1260–1650nm wideband singlemode
- Low Insertion Loss: Ensures strong, balanced output signals
- High Return Loss: Angled LC/APC connectors reduce back-reflection
- Low PDL: Consistent performance regardless of signal polarisation
- Standards Compliance: IEC and Telcordia GR-1209/1221 certified
- Installation: Plug-and-play for patch panels, fibre trays, or enclosures
Reliable Optical Performance for Sensitive Fibre Links
This PLC splitter 1:4 LC/APC is engineered for high-sensitivity applications where signal reflection can impact network performance. Ideal for use in access networks, distribution cabinets, and multi-service fibre links, it provides stable optical transmission across a broad spectrum with low attenuation and precise output balance.
Advantages of LC/APC Connectors
The angled end-face of the LC/APC connectors offers a superior return loss of ≥60dB, making this splitter perfect for applications such as live video, voice-over-IP, and fibre sensors. The small LC form factor also enables high-density rack installations in compact environments.
Applications
- FTTH and FTTx network deployments
- GPON/EPON split networks
- Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs)
- Data centres and telecom base stations
- Rack-mounted or wall-mounted fibre trays
