Rack Mount 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.
Rack Mount PLC Splitter is typically mounted in a standard 19-inch rack, making them easy to install and manage in data centers, telecom networks, and other optical infrastructure setups.
Rack Mount PLC Splitter is also used in testing and monitoring applications, allowing technicians to split and analyze optical signals for troubleshooting and performance monitoring purposes.
