UT-King’s Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitter is an optical power management device that utilizes silica optical waveguide technology to distribute optical signals from a central office (CO) to multiple premise locations. It has the characteristics of small size, high reliability, wide operating wavelength range, and good channel uniformity. These technologies are widely used in PON networks as a low-cost solution to realize optical signal power distribution.
In recent years, due to the rise of FTTR cabling solutions, UT-King had to develop a 1x9 PLC Splitter in response to customer requirements. Different from other splitters, the 1x9 PLC Splitter adopts an uneven splitting ratio. Among its 9 output ports, the splitting ratio of first port is 70%, and the splitting ratio of the remaining 8 ports is 3.75%.
