LGX Box PLC Splitter
Fiber Optic PLC Splitter is an essential passive component in Fiber to the Home network.
The full name of PLC Splitter is Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter. It adopts silica optical waveguide technology and is used for optical power allocation from the central office to customer premises in FTTx and FTTH networks.
PLC Splitter offers a cost-effective and space-saving networking solution in an optical transmission system.
LGX Box PLC Splitter is packaged in an international standard-size module, and installed in a rack-mount LGX Chassis. LGX Box PLC Splitters are widely used for FTTH Passive Optical Network as passive optical splitters, including EPON (as EPON Splitter) and GPON (as GPON Splitter) in the central office of FTTH network.
PLC Splitters are available in a variety of port configurations, including a 2-way splitter, a 4-way splitter, an 8-way splitter, a 16-way splitter, a 32-way splitter, a 64-way splitter, etc.
Features:
- Uniform power splitting
