How to Choose Your Right PLC Splitter?
As a passive component, PLC Splitter plays an important roles in fibre-optical communication. Different types of PLC splitters hold different functions and applications.
Here are some types of PLC Splitter for your reference:
l Bare PLC Splitter
Bare PLC Splitter is generally applied in the FTTX for its smallest size. It can be fused with equipment terminals directly and also can be mounted in various types of pigtail connection boxes, testing instruments and WDM systems.
l Blockless PLC Splitter
Blockless PLC Splitter supports using a 0.9mm loose tube to protect the optical fibers. It has a higher mechanical properties than Bare PLC Splitter. It's mainly used for various connection and distribution boxes or network cabinets.
l Fan-out PLC Splitter
PLC splitter with fan-out is mainly used for 0.9mm optical fiber where the ribbon fiber can converted to 0.9mm optical fiber through fan-out. Fiber adapters can be provided both for the input and output ends of this kind of splitters so that they can be used directly to meet the low demand on the size of the splitter.
l ABS Box PLC Splitter
ABS BOX Splitter is most commonly used in the PON networks. It provides the complete protection for inner optical components and cable, as well as designed for the convenient and reliable installation, but its volume is relatively large.
l LGX Box PLC Splitter
LGX PLC splitters integrate the splitter with an LGX type module, thus this product can be used stand alone or with fiber optic patch panels. The strong metal body protects the parts and splitters components inside the closure, while there are pre-teminated adapters on the LGX box to connect to outside equipment.
l Rack Mounted PLC Splitter
Rack Mounted PLC splitter consists of the PLC splitters and the enclosure body, it is with standard size and for easy installation, there are many adapters interfaces optional such as SC, LC and FC. The rack PLC splitters suit for the indoor or outdoor applications in FTTx projects, CATV or data communication centers.

l Tray Type PLC Splitter
Tray type PLC splitter is a type of optical power management device that is fabricated using silica optical waveguide technology. It features small size, high reliability, wide operating wavelength range and excellent channel-to-channel uniformity. As a result, it is widely used in PON networks to realize optical signal power splitting.
l Wall Box PLC Splitter
Wall Box PLC Splitter is used in the end termination of residential buildings and villas, to fix and splice with pigtails. It is made of high quality plastic, compact design, small size and multi-function. It can be installed on the wall. It may adapt variety of optical connection styles. And optical fiber can be managed effectively.
