1×32 PLC Splitter Overview

The 1×32 PLC Splitter is a passive optical component designed to divide one incoming single mode optical signal evenly between thirty-two output fibers.

Based on planar lightwave circuit technology, it provides stable optical power distribution across the 1260–1650nm operating wavelength range. The 1×32 configuration allows one feeder fiber to serve thirty-two optical branches without powered switching equipment or an external power supply.

This version uses 0.9mm single mode ITU-T G.657A fiber and SC/UPC connectors. The UPC-polished interfaces provide standard low-loss connections for single mode optical networks, while the compact mini-module construction is suitable for installation in fiber distribution boxes, splice closures, wall-mounted enclosures, equipment cabinets, and optical test systems.

With maximum insertion loss of ≤17.3dB, loss uniformity of ≤1.2dB, and polarization dependent loss of ≤0.3dB, the splitter provides stable passive signal distribution for FTTH, GPON, EPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, passive optical LAN, telecom distribution, and optical monitoring applications.
