Overview
The VERSA Splitter Module is a high-performance 1x16 Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitter designed for reliable signal distribution in fiber optic networks. Housed in a durable, off-white ABS box with an integrated bulkhead, this module is engineered to provide robust protection and organized cable management for complex deployments.
The unit features 1.6mm jacketed tails, with a red cable for input and a black cable for output, simplifying identification during installation. Equipped with factory-terminated LC/APC connectors, it ensures high-quality signal integrity and minimal back-reflection, making it an ideal choice for data centers and outside plant FTTx environments.
