Fiber optic PLC splitter
Fiber optic splitter is an optical passive device used to realize the splitting and combining of optical signals. Fiber Splitter distributes the light energy which transmitted in one fiber to two or more fibers in a set ratio, or combines the light energy which transmitted in multiple fibers into a single fiber.
PLC splitter is Planar Light wave Circuit splitter based on optical semiconductor technology. It is one of the most important passive devices in passive optical network (PON), with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, commonly use MxN to indicate a splitter has M inputs and N outputs.The optical splitters used in fiber optic CATV systems are generally 1×2, 1×3, 1×4, 1×8, 1×9, 1×12, 1×16, 1×24, 1×32 and 1xN etc. PLC splitters are used to evenly divide one or two optical signals into multiple optical signals.
