Cable splitter Extralink 1:16 PLC SC/APC 900um 1.5m Transparent

EXTRALINK PLC 1:16 0.9mm fiber optic splitter with SC/APC connectors is a passive optical device designed for FTTH networks to divide an incoming optical signal into 16 equal outputs. Constructed with a compact steel housing and a 0.9 mm pigtail fiber, the splitter provides symmetrical 1:16 power distribution and is intended for installation inside fiber distribution enclosures, switches, or couplers. The product comes in blister packaging to prevent cable tangling and features SC/APC connectors and a 1.5 m length where applicable.

Advantages

The Extralink PLC splitter offers stable passive splitting without the need for additional power, a compact steel box for straightforward mounting in distribution panels, and a 0.9 mm pigtail that simplifies routing in organizers. Using SC/APC connectors ensures low back-reflection and reliable mating with APC-terminated equipment. Transparent design and fiberglass construction provide durability while keeping the assembly lightweight.

Suitable for

• FTTH (fiber to the home) subscriber distribution
• Passive optical networks (PON) requiring 1:16 splitting
• Indoor installation in fiber distribution boxes and panels
• Network extensions where multiple customers share a single feed

How to use

Mount the splitter inside a compatible fiber distribution enclosure or rack using the compact steel housing. Route the 0.9 mm pigtail through the organizer channels, respecting minimum bend radius for 900 µm fiber. Connect the input SC/APC connector to the upstream optical feed and attach the output SC/APC connectors to subscriber or distribution fibers. Ensure proper cleaning of connector end-faces before mating to minimize insertion loss and reflection.

Recommendations

Handle the 0.9 mm pigtail carefully to avoid tight bends; store and install the splitter in a dry, dust-free environment. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before connection and verify optical power levels after installation to confirm balanced distribution.
