1×4 PLC Splitter Overview

The 1×4 PLC Splitter is a passive optical component designed to divide one incoming single mode optical signal evenly between four output fibers.

Based on planar lightwave circuit technology, it provides stable 25:25:25:25 optical power distribution across the 1260–1650nm operating wavelength range. The splitter allows one feeder fiber to serve four optical branches without powered switching equipment or an external power supply.

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

With P Grade insertion loss of ≤7.4dB, loss uniformity of ≤0.6dB, and polarization dependent loss of ≤0.3dB, the splitter provides stable passive signal distribution for FTTH, GPON, EPON, FTTB, passive optical LAN, telecom transmission, and optical monitoring systems.
