PLC Splitters
Planar lightwave circuit splitters divide one fibre evenly across 2 to 64 outputs, with flat loss across every wavelength used in PON and CATV. Available as micro steel-tube, ABS box, LGX cassette and rack formats.

Features
- Flat loss across the PON and CATV window
- Micro, ABS box, LGX cassette and rack formats
- Even split across all outputs
Applications
- PON / FTTH distribution
- CATV splitting
- Distribution boxes
Specifications are typical unless stated and may change without notice. Patch cords and assemblies are terminated with connectors from leading global manufacturers; Scientific optical transceivers are made in India. Confirm current values with our sales team before ordering.
