PLC Splitter 1:8 SC/APC – Low-Reflection Fibre Splitter for FTTH
The PLC Splitter 1:8 SC/APC from Attac is a premium-grade passive optical splitter designed to divide a single fibre input into eight SC/APC outputs. Built on Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology, it delivers low insertion loss, low polarisation-dependent loss (PDL), and high return loss—making it ideal for high-performance GPON, FTTH, and FTTx networks.
Key Features
- Split Ratio: 1 input to 8 SC/APC outputs
- Connectorised: Factory pre-terminated with SC/APC connectors
- Wavelength Range: 1260–1650nm wideband operation
- Low Insertion Loss: Ensures strong signal across all ports
- High Return Loss: SC/APC angled polish minimises reflection
- Low PDL: Stable signal quality under all conditions
- Housing: Compact format for patch panels, wall boxes, and enclosures
- Compliance: IEC and Telcordia GR-1209/1221 certified
Engineered for High-Precision Fibre Networks
This PLC splitter 1:8 SC/APC is ideal for optical access networks requiring tight return loss control and signal stability. It supports plug-and-play installation into ODFs, fibre wall enclosures, and high-density rack trays, accelerating deployment timelines without compromising performance.
Advantages of SC/APC Connectors
SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors are preferred in networks that demand low back-reflection and high accuracy. The green connector housing and 8° angled polish minimise signal reflection, reducing interference in high-bandwidth systems like IPTV, VoIP, and real-time data streaming.
Applications
- FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) and FTTx networks
- GPON/EPON access networks
- Backbone and metro fibre networks
- Rack-mounted ODFs and wall-mounted fibre trays
- Telecom, ISP, and municipal fibre systems
