Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:2 FBT SC/UPC 35:65, 900µm fiber, 1 m cable

Extralink Splitter 1:2 FBT SC/UPC 35:65 is a passive optical cable splitter designed to divide a single fiber signal into two outputs with an asymmetric 35:65 power distribution. Built for 900 µm fiber and terminated with SC/UPC connectors, the unit comes with a 1 m PVC-jacketed pigtail designed for compact installation in fiber organizers and small enclosures. The splitter’s blue and white plastic body and a steel tube housing provide a compact, serviceable component for FTTH and FTTB deployments where passive signal branching is required.

Advantages

The FBT technology provides stable, low-loss passive splitting suitable for point-to-multipoint fiber networks without the need for external power. The 35:65 split ratio enables asymmetric distribution of optical power when unequal output levels are needed. The 0.9 mm pigtail cable and 1 m PVC jacketed length facilitate flexible routing and neat installation in splice trays, couplers, or small patch panels. SC/UPC connectors ensure reliable, repeatable connections compatible with common optical equipment.

Suitable for

• FTTH and FTTB passive network branching
• Small multiservice splits where asymmetric power distribution is required
• Laboratory testing and prototyping of fiber distribution
• Repairs or upgrades of existing passive fiber links

How to use

Prepare and clean the mating connectors and ensure the fiber ends are free of dust and debris before connection. Mount the splitter inside a splice tray, fiber organizer, or patch panel that accommodates a steel tube form factor. Route the 1 m pigtail carefully to avoid tight bends and secure it with appropriate strain relief; ensure the bend radius complies with fiber handling guidelines. Connect the input SC/UPC to the upstream fiber and the two SC/UPC outputs to downstream devices or patch cords. Verify optical power levels after installation to confirm the expected asymmetric distribution.

Recommendations

Handle the 900 µm fiber with care to avoid microbends and maintain bend radius above manufacturer guidelines. Use a dust cap on unused connectors and perform insertion loss measurements after installation to validate link performance. Avoid exposing the splitter housing and pigtail to prolonged moisture or mechanical stress.
