Characteristics and Benefits of PLC Splitters
PLC splitters have several advantages that make them useful in a variety of optical networking applications.
Uniformity
One of the key advantages of PLC splitters is their ability to split light into multiple outputs uniformly, ensuring equal signal distribution across all output channels.
Compact Size
The waveguide can be fabricated on a micro-scale, allowing PLC splitters to be compact and easy to integrate into various settings, including small spaces within network hubs or in the field.
Low Insertion Loss
PLC splitters typically exhibit very low insertion loss, which is crucial in maintaining the signal strength and quality across long distances.
Wide Wavelength Range
They can operate over a wide range of wavelengths, making them compatible with various types of optical transmission standards, including CWDM and DWDM systems.
High Reliability
Made from silica on a solid substrate, PLC splitters are less sensitive to temperature and other environmental variables compared to other types of splitters, such as fused biconic taper (FBT) splitters.

Applications:
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Networks use PLC splitters to distribute signals from a single fiber entering a neighborhood to multiple homes or units. The splitters effectively manage the bandwidth among subscribers, ensuring consistent Internet speed and connection quality. This technology has revolutionized the way we access the Internet, allowing for faster and more reliable connectivity.
CWDM/DWDM Systems, which employ wavelength division multiplexing, benefit from the use of PLC splitters. These splitters help manage and route different wavelengths efficiently across the same fiber, thereby optimizing the capacity of optical communication lines. As a result, communication providers can offer faster and more efficient data transmission to their subscribers using fewer fibers, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Optical Cable TV Systems also rely heavily on PLC splitters. These systems distribute TV signals from a central location to multiple subscribers without the need for active electrical power. By ensuring consistent quality and performance, subscribers can enjoy uninterrupted and high-quality television programming, regardless of how many other subscribers are connecting to the system at the same time.
