Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:16 PLC SC/UPC 900um 1.5m

EXTRALINK PLC 1:16 0.9mm fiber optic splitter with SC/UPC connectors is a passive optical device designed for signal distribution in FTTH and other fiber optic networks. The unit provides symmetric 1:16 power splitting and is built on a 0.9 mm pigtail cable with SC/UPC connectors, housed in a compact steel box for straightforward installation in patch panels, switches, and fiber organizers. The product is supplied in blister packaging to prevent cable tangling during handling.

Advantages

The PLC splitter offers uniform power distribution across 16 outputs, compact dimensions for space-efficient mounting, and SC/UPC connector interfaces for broad compatibility with standard single-mode fiber equipment. Its 0.9 mm pigtail design simplifies routing inside fiber management panels and reduces strain on connections. The steel enclosure adds mechanical protection and supports stable operation in typical indoor installations.

Suitable for

• FTTH (fiber to the home) deployments
• Passive optical networks (PON) requiring 1:16 split ratio
• Telecommunications and data transmission distribution points
• Patch panels and fiber organizers in central offices or customer premises

How to use

Mount the compact steel housing into a suitable patch panel or fiber organizer. Connect the input SC/UPC connector to the upstream fiber or OLT port and route each of the 16 output SC/UPC connectors to subscriber or downstream equipment. Ensure all fiber connectors are clean before mating and avoid sharp bends in the 0.9 mm pigtail to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the pigtail within cable management clips to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use with single-mode optical fibers and standard SC/UPC-compatible ports. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools before installation and keep the splitter in a controlled indoor environment. Avoid exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures. Follow operator-specific loss budget calculations when integrating a 1:16 splitter into a PON to ensure adequate signal levels at endpoints.
