Steel tube PLC Optical Splitter
Steel tube PLC splitters are developed using silica glass wave guide circuits and aligned fiber pigtails, integrated inside a miniature package. PLC splitters provide low-cost solution for optical signal distribution, with small form factor and superb reliability.
The PLCs devices have 1x4, 1x8, 1x16 and 1x32 standard configurations, as well as customized structures of 2x4, 2x32, and 2x64. These products meet or exceed Telcordia GR-1209-CORE and GR-1221-CORE reliability qualification requirement.
