1x8 PLC Optical Splitter Module, 1.6mm Jacketed, 2 Meter Leads, SC/APC Connectors, ½ LGX Footprint

Overview

The 1x8 PLC Optical Splitter Module is a high-performance passive component designed for seamless integration into FTTx, PON, and CATV network architectures. It features a compact ½ LGX footprint (0.875" height), specifically optimized for use in PON cabinets and the XL Zeus Fiber Management Center.

The module is constructed with 1.6mm jacketed 2-meter pigtail leads and terminated with industry-standard SC/APC connectors. The use of APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on the connector end faces ensures minimal back reflection, protecting sensitive transmission equipment in high-density network environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the APC polish do?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish provides an 8-degree angle on the fiber end face, which minimizes back reflection (return loss) that can interfere with sensitive laser transmissions.

Is this compatible with standard LGX racks?
Yes, it utilizes a ½ LGX footprint, making it suitable for standard LGX-compatible management systems and specifically the XL Zeus Fiber Management Center.

What is the operating wavelength of this module?
This splitter supports a wavelength range of 1260nm to 1650nm, covering typical O, E, S, C, and L bands.

Are test reports included?
Yes, test reports are provided at the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths.

Can I use this for outdoor splicing?
This module is intended for use in PON cabinets and managed environments; it is not designed for direct outdoor exposure.
