1X16 ABS BOX PLC Splitter for PON Networks

The 1X16 ABS BOX PLC Splitter for PON Networks stands as a high-performance optical distribution solution engineered to enable efficient signal distribution in passive optical networks (PON). This passive component utilizes advanced Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology to evenly split a single optical input into 16 output channels, making it a critical infrastructure element for large-scale fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments and PON network expansions.

Product Overview


Encased in a rugged ABS plastic enclosure with IP65-rated protection, this splitter delivers reliable performance in both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, safeguarding internal optics from dust, moisture, and physical damage during installation and operation. The PLC-based design ensures superior signal uniformity across all 16 channels compared to traditional FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) splitters, maintaining consistent optical performance even in high-density network configurations .


Operating across the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength bands commonly used in GPON/EPON systems, this splitter seamlessly integrates with existing PON infrastructure while supporting future network upgrades. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with ITU-T G.671 standards, guaranteeing reliable operation in carrier-grade network environments.


Product Features


Optical Performance

Insertion Loss ≤16dB (typical 12-14dB) for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, ensuring minimal signal attenuation through the splitting mechanism .

Splitting Uniformity ≤0.5dB across all 16 output channels, preventing signal imbalance in distributed PON networks.

High Return Loss ≥50dB for both input and output ports, minimizing back reflections that can degrade network performance .


Robust Mechanical Design

IP65-Rated ABS Enclosure providing dust-tight and water-resistant protection for outdoor and harsh indoor installations .

Compact Dimensions (L100 x W70 x H30mm) optimizing space utilization in distribution boxes and terminal enclosures .

FC/UPC or SC/UPC Connector Options with zirconia ceramic ferrules ensuring precise alignment and long-term durability .


Environmental and Operational Reliability

Wide Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C, suitable for extreme climate conditions .

Humidity Resistance: Maintains performance at 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) at 65°C .

Shock and Vibration Resistance: Compliant with Telcordia GR-1209 standards for telecom infrastructure reliability .


Applications


FTTH Network Deployments

Ideal for large-scale residential communities where a single optical line from the central office needs distribution to up to 16 individual households. The uniform splitting ensures consistent bandwidth availability for each subscriber.


PON Distribution Networks

Critical component in optical distribution nodes (ODNs), connecting OLT (Optical Line Terminal) ports to multiple ONTs (Optical Network Terminals) in GPON/EPON systems. Enables service providers to maximize fiber utilization while minimizing infrastructure costs.


Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) Installations

Perfect for apartment buildings and condominiums, providing efficient fiber distribution from building entrance points to individual units. The compact design fits easily in wall-mounted distribution boxes.


Enterprise Campus Networks

Used in corporate campus environments to distribute optical signals from main distribution frames to multiple buildings or departments. Supports high-bandwidth services including video conferencing and cloud applications.


Telecommunication Cabinets

Integral to outdoor telecom cabinets and pole-mounted enclosures, facilitating signal distribution in last-mile network segments. The IP65 rating ensures reliable operation in exposed environments.


FAQ


How does PLC technology differ from FBT in splitters?

PLC splitters use photolithographically etched waveguides on a silica substrate to split signals, providing superior uniformity (≤0.5dB) and wider operating bandwidth compared to FBT splitters. FBT splitters use fused fiber tapers which offer lower cost but higher insertion loss and poorer uniformity, making PLC ideal for large-scale PON deployments .


What is the maximum data rate supported by this splitter?

The splitter supports all current PON data rates including 1Gbps GPON, 10Gbps XG-PON, and future 25Gbps NG-PON2 systems. As a passive component, its performance is wavelength-dependent rather than data rate-limited, ensuring future-proofing for network upgrades.


Can this splitter be installed outdoors?

Yes, the IP65-rated ABS enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor installations in protected enclosures or weatherproof cabinets. For direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme conditions, additional protective housing is recommended.


What is the typical service life of this PLC splitter?

When properly installed and protected, the splitter has an expected service life of 25+ years, meeting Telcordia GR-1221 standards for passive optical components in telecom networks. The hermetically sealed enclosure prevents moisture damage to internal optics.


How should unused output ports be handled?

Unused ports should be terminated with protective dust caps to prevent dust accumulation and signal reflections. Never leave unused ports unterminated as this can cause back reflections (>50dB) that degrade network performance.
