PLC Splitter Manufacturer for FTTH & GPON Networks

A PLC splitter is a passive optical device used in FTTH and GPON networks to evenly distribute optical signals into multiple outputs with low insertion loss and high stability.

What Is a PLC Splitter?

A PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter is a high-precision passive optical component used to split one optical signal into multiple outputs in FTTH, GPON, and EPON networks.

It is a key device in optical distribution networks (ODN), ensuring stable and uniform signal distribution to multiple end users.

Compared with traditional FBT splitters, PLC splitters provide:

Lower insertion loss

Better wavelength stability

Higher port scalability (up to 1×64 and 2×64)

How to Choose the Right PLC Splitter?

1. Network Type

FTTH / GPON → PLC splitter standard

Data center → MPO / LGX type

2. Split Ratio

1×8 / 1×16 → small access networks

1×32 / 1×64 → large FTTH deployment

3. Installation Type

Rack mount → central office

ABS box → outdoor FTTH

LGX cassette → modular ODF

4. Connector Type

SC/APC (most common FTTH)

LC/APC (high density)

MPO (data center / hybrid)
