Description
PLC splitters, are used to evenly divide one or two optical signals into multiple optical signals. PLC splitters are passive optical devices that are widely used in Passive Optical Networks (PON) by connecting to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) (FTTH and FTTx Networks such as BPON, GPON, EPON, and xG EPON all utilize PLC Splitters in their design.
A Planar Light wave Circuit (PLC) splitter is a passive optical splitter based on optical semiconductor technology. A PLC splitter’s manufacturing process is similar to those of semiconductors. A typical PLC splitter consists of a PLC chip along with input and output arrays, the number of which depends on the split ratio.
As demand for higher bandwidth continues to grow, telecommunications companies rely on Passive Optical Networks (PON) and VIS reliable PLC splitters to provide fiber optic links to an increasing number of users. PLC splitters allow a single PON network interface to be utilized by multiple users.
