Rack Mount PLC Splitter

Huijue Network Rack Mount PLC Splitter is a passive device of optical network that facilitates centralized fiber distribution and splitting of optical signals in telecommunications and FTTx systems. The device is mounted on the standard 19-inch racks and offers a convenient solution for managing optical connections in optical distribution cabinets and network panels.

The Huijue Network Rack Mount PLC Splitter is based on the planar lightwave circuit technology and is capable of evenly distributing optical signals from one input fiber to several output fibers without consuming any additional power. In comparison with classical fused biconical taper splitters, PLC splitters have more uniform splitting ratio and stable operation in the wider range of wavelengths.

The rack mounting design of PLC splitter consists in integration of PLC splitter modules in the housing made of metal. This device is extensively used in PON networks such as GPON, EPON, and next generation fiber access systems.

Key Features

High Density Rack Mounting

With the rack mount enclosure designed for standard 19 inches racks, there is a good use of space and centralized management of fibers.

Optical Stability

The use of PLC allows for low insertion loss, excellent splitting uniformity, and optical distribution of signals.

Multiple Split Ratio Available

Split ratios that are commonly available include 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, 1×64, and 2xN.

Passive Optics

No power source is needed as it is a passive system.

Fiber Management

The rack enclosure allows for protection of inner parts.

Application

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Rack Mount PLC Splitter?

Rack Mount PLC Splitter refers to the passive optical splitter which is put into the standard rack enclosure for the division of optical signal from one input fiber to several output fibers.

What is the difference between PLC Splitter and FBT Splitter?

There are many differences between PLC Splitters and FBT splitters, the main one is that PLC splitters are made using the PLCC technology which provides uniformity of signal distribution and good performance with different wavelengths, while FBT splitters are made using fused fibers technology.

What split ratios are possible for rack mount PLC splitters?

The most common split ratios are 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, 1×64 etc. Any other configuration can be designed as well according to network requirements.

Does a PLC Splitter need power?

No, because PLC Splitter is passive optical device which means that it doesn’t require any external power supply.

Where is a Rack Mount PLC Splitter installed?

Rack Mount PLC Splitters are usually installed in 19-inch racks, ODF enclosures, telecom room, data center optical distribution system.
