Corning introduces a new family of high-performance PLC fiber optic splitter (19-in Rack Mount) modules for today’s high-port count applications that demand the best performance and the highest reliability under the most adverse of environments. Corning’s PLC fiber optic splitter modules deliver on all these requirements as well as being very stable and dependable for good optical transmission. The PLC modules feature low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss, and high port uniformity. The Splitter Modules are available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 64-channel or two (1x32) configurations with SC or LC connector. Our OEM-friendly packaging provides the flexibility to meet the broadest design requirements. The 1U rack enclosure, made of aluminum alloy and resistant to dust and heat, can effectively safeguard fibers while also being easy to install and maintain.
A PLC splitter is based on PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) technology and is suitable for high density applications. PLC splitters make it possible for the transmission power at each splitter output port to be the identical, simplifying network architecture and lowering expenses. By allowing a single PON Interface to be shared by multiple subscribers, optical splitters have played an essential role in passive optical networks.
