What Is PLC Splitter?

PLC splitter is based on planar lightwave circuit technology. It comprises three layers: a substrate, a waveguide, and a lid. The waveguide plays a key role in the splitting process which allows for passing specific percentages of light. So the signal can be split equally. In addition, PLC splitters are available in a variety of split ratios, including 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, etc. They also have several types, such as bare PLC splitter, blockless PLC splitter, fanout PLC splitter, mini plug-in type PLC splitter, etc. Therefore, if high split counts, small package size, and low insertion loss are required, you are suggested to choose PLC splitter rather than FBT splitter. The following table shows the advantages and disadvantages of PLC splitter.

Advantages Disadvantages
  • Suitable for multiple operating wavelengths (1260nm – 1650nm).
  • Equal splitter ratios for all branches.
  • Compact configuration, smaller size, small occupation space.
  • Good stability across all ratios.
  • High quality, low failure rate.
  • Complicated production process.
  • Costlier than the FBT splitter in the smaller ratios.
