There are 1xn or 2xn series for your choice, and all kinds of fiber connector like sc, st, fc, lc and so on for your choices.

What is the splitting ratio of a PLC splitter?

PLC splitter has a variety of splitting ratio, the most common are 1 x 8, 1 x 16, 1 x 32, 1 x 64 .For example, a 1x4 optical splitter can distribute the optical signal in a single fiber equally to four fibers, which in simple terms actually means that the 1000Mbps bandwidth is distributed equally to four homes, each of which can use 250Mbps bandwidth for the network.

Can I get a custom design for my PLC splitter?

FBT splitters are customizable, with special models such as 1:3, 1:7, 1:11, etc. PLC splitters are generally available in standard versions such as 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, etc.

What is the difference between PLC splitters and FBT splitters?

FBT Splitter

FBT technology is to bundle two or more optical fibers without coating layer together, and then melt and stretch them on the taper machine, and monitor the change of splitting ratio in real time, and end the melt and stretching after the splitting ratio reaches the requirement, one end of the fiber is kept (the rest is cut off) as the input, and the other end is used as multiple outputs.

PLC splitter

Planar waveguide type optical splitter is a kind of integrated waveguide optical power distribution device based on quartz substrate. The device consists of an optical splitter chip and fiber optic array coupled at both ends, the chip is the core component, the chip is good or bad and the splitting channel directly affects the price of the whole splitter, the chip has an input and N output waveguide. Fiber array is located on the upper surface of the chip, sealed with a shell, forming an optical splitter with one input and N output fibers.
