PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) Splitter are available for Single-mode fiber in ratio 1:2 to 1:64. These devices enable more effective monitoring and management of optical networks. Its primary function is to divide a single optical signal into multiple output signals, allowing for efficient distribution of light across various paths. It's the cornerstone of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks and passive optical networks (PON), efficiently distributing optical signals to multiple users. As a core device in FTTH and PON networks, a PLC splitter is not just about “splitting light” — it's about delivering stable, low-loss, and uniform optical power distribution at. Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitters combine a silica glass waveguide process together with precision aligned fiber V-groove arrays to provide a reliable, low cost way to split light from one fiber into many fibers within a very small form factor package.
