Fiber Optical Terminal Box: PLC Splitter Type
PLC splitter or planar lightwave circuit splitter is a passive component that has the special waveguide made of planar silica, quartz or other materials. It is employed to split a strand of optical signal into two or more strands.
Passive Optical Splitters are, quite simply, the components that split the fiber and its signal. A signal from the Aggregation Switch is sent along a run of fiber. When it reaches a Passive Optical Splitter, mirrors and glass in the component split the light into two, or three, or more fiber strands.
There are three main types of PLC Splitter
Micro type
Casstette Type
Insertion type
