Planar Waveguide Optical Splitter (1×16)
Optimized Signal Distribution for Scalable Fiber Networks
The FIBERONE 1×16 Planar Waveguide Optical Splitter is engineered for high-density environments where signal integrity cannot be compromised. Utilizing advanced planar technology with silica waveguides, this fiber optic splitter provides a stable and reliable method for distributing light across sixteen distinct output ports. For those managing a Passive Optical Network, maintaining a strict power budget is essential, and this component delivers with a guaranteed low insertion loss of less than 13.5. Whether your deployment involves residential FTTH or high-capacity commercial hubs, this splitter is the professional choice for various PON applications.
Precision Performance in High-Density Packages
Splitting a signal sixteen ways requires extreme precision to ensure every end-user receives a balanced connection. The 1×16 Planar Waveguide Optical Splitter features uniform splitting technology, keeping uniformity within a tight range of less than 1.2 dB. This level of consistency is critical for a Passive Optical Network to function without parity errors or signal drops. Furthermore, the fiber optic splitter is designed to minimize Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), ensuring that the orientation of the light wave does not interfere with transmission quality. Because it is built for the “real world,” it maintains low insertion loss and high stability across a wide operating wavelength of 1260 to 1610 nm.
Rugged Reliability for Modern PON Applications
Network hardware is only as good as its weakest link, which is why FIBERONE focuses on environmental resilience. This fiber optic splitter is rated for an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C, allowing it to thrive in both controlled central offices and rugged outdoor enclosures. The 1×16 Planar Waveguide Optical Splitter provides an impressively high optical return loss (> 55 dB) and directivity (> 55 dB), preventing back-reflections that could damage sensitive laser equipment in your Passive Optical Network. Despite its 16-port capacity, the unit remains compact at 20 mm wide and 80 mm long, fitting easily into low-profile package network requirements. By integrating a component with such a consistently low insertion loss, network operators can maximize their reach in diverse PON applications while simplifying cable management through the included 8-ribbon fiber outputs and optional break-out kits.
