PLC Splitter 1:8 SC/UPC – Fibre Signal Divider for GPON and FTTH Networks
The PLC Splitter 1:8 SC/UPC from Attac is a compact, cost-effective solution for distributing a single optical signal to multiple outputs in passive optical networks. Using high-precision Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology, this splitter evenly divides one input fibre into eight output fibres, maintaining excellent balance, low insertion loss, and minimal reflection.
Key Features
- Split Ratio: 1 input to 8 output fibres
- Connectorised: Pre-terminated with SC/UPC connectors
- Operating Wavelength: 1260–1650nm wideband range
- Low Insertion Loss: Ensures minimal power loss per port
- Low PDL: Stable signal performance in varying conditions
- Return Loss: High reflection resistance due to UPC polish
- Standards: IEC and Telcordia GR-1209/1221 compliant
- Installation: Plug-and-play setup in ODFs, patch panels, or wall enclosures
Optimised for Passive Optical Networks
This PLC splitter 1:8 SC/UPC is ideal for use in FTTx rollouts, GPON systems, and broadband fibre deployments. Its compact format and pre-terminated ends speed up installation, making it ideal for high-speed rollouts in residential, commercial, and multi-tenant building environments.
SC/UPC Connectors – Reliable & Industry Standard
The flat-polished SC/UPC connectors ensure dependable mating, stable return loss, and are compatible with most existing telecom equipment. They’re well-suited for general-purpose optical links, where angled return loss (APC) is not essential.
