Supply Passive Optical Network PLC Splitter 1x8 Wide Operating Wavelength 1260-1650nm

When your customer is deploying a GPON or XGS-PON network for a multi-dwelling unit and needs to split that single 1490nm downstream signal to 8 apartments without signal degradation, this is what goes in the splice tray — the 1x8 PLC splitter handles the whole 1260-1650nm range, so it works with both legacy and newer wavelength plans without swapping hardware.

We typically ship these with G657A fiber as standdard, which is bend-insensitive and makes a real difference when you're routing through tight spaces in those cramped distribution boxes — you'll get a max insertion loss of 10.2 dB on the P grade, which is tighter than the usual S-grade tolerance most budget splitters offer.

Polarization dependent loss sits at 0.2 dB, and return loss hits 55 dB, so basically you're not dealing with signal bounce issues that show up as bit errors in the OLT's alarm log; the operating temperature range is -40 to +85 °C, so it'll survive in an outdoor cabinet through a heatwave or a deep freeze (check lead time for bulk orders — we usually have stock but confirm).

Actually, the bare device is only 40×4×4 mm, which is small enough to fit inside a splice closure or a wall-mount ODF without custom brackets — box module size is 100×80×10 mm if your installer prefers something they can label and grab.

It's not designed for high-density DWDM splitting where you need channel isolation below 0.1 dB, so don't try to push it into that appliction — but for standard PON splits and CATV headends it's been field-proven for years, and the RoHS and ISO certifcation means customs clearance is straightforward.

Most buyers go with the micro module format (60×7×4 mm) for new builds because it tapes neatly onto teh fiber pigtails and slides into a 1U patch panel without taking up too much space, and the 0.2 dB PDL spec means you'll see consistent power levels across all 8 outputs within about 0.3 dB of each other.
