Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is a device that is used in optical power management and is manufactured using silica optical waveguide technology. Its primary function is to distribute optical signals from the Central Office (CO) to multiple locations within a premise.
The LGX Module PLC splitter, which is commonly used in PON networks, offers complete protection for the cable and inner optical components. It is designed to facilitate convenient and reliable installation but its volume is relatively large. The splitter is mainly used for a variety of connection and distribution products such as outdoor fiber distribution boxes or network cabinets.
At Yingda, we offer optical splitters in different split ratios, including 1×2, 1×4, 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, and 1×64. The splitters are packaged in mini modules, ABS modules, LGX modules, rack types or closure types, depending on the application.
PLC splitters are a crucial component in optical networks. They offer several benefits compared to other types of optical splitters. Here are some of the characteristics and benefits of PLC splitters:
PLC splitters can split light into multiple outputs uniformly, ensuring equal signal distribution across all output channels. This makes them ideal for use in high-speed optical networks.
PLC splitters are compact and easy to integrate into various settings, including small spaces within network hubs or in the field. They can be fabricated on a micro-scale, making them ideal for use in optical network devices that require small form factors.
PLC splitters typically exhibit very low insertion loss, which is crucial in maintaining the signal strength and quality across long distances. This is especially important in fiber optic networks that require high signal fidelity.
PLC splitters can operate over a wide range of wavelengths, making them compatible with various types of optical transmission standards, including CWDM and DWDM systems. This flexibility makes them ideal for use in a wide range of applications in optical networks.
PLC splitters are made from silica on a solid substrate, which makes them less sensitive to temperature and other environmental variables compared to other types of splitters, such as fused biconic taper (FBT) splitters. This leads to a higher level of reliability and durability in all types of operating environments.
The steel tube is stainless steel material, and with Korea imported high quality PLC chips, tree structure, balanced split ratio.

In the world of fiber optic communication, FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks have become increasingly popular. These networks rely on the use of PLC splitters to distribute signals from a single fiber entering a neighborhood to multiple homes or units. By effectively managing the bandwidth among numerous subscribers, these PLC splitters help ensure that everyone in the network is able to access high-quality and reliable internet service.
CWDM/DWDM systems are another important part of the world of fiber optic communication. In these systems, wavelength division multiplexing is used to efficiently manage and route different wavelengths across the same fiber. This can help optimize the capacity of optical communication lines, making it possible to transmit a greater amount of data with greater speed and efficiency. PLC splitters play a crucial role in making this possible, helping to ensure that the different wavelengths remain properly separated and routed.
Optical cable TV systems also rely on PLC splitters to ensure consistent quality and performance for multiple subscribers. These systems distribute TV signals from a central location to multiple subscribers, without the need for active electrical power. PLC splitters help manage and distribute these signals, ensuring that each subscriber receives high-quality picture and sound without any disruptions or loss of service.
