Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:2 PLC 250µm, PVC, white, without connector

Extralink Splitter 1:2 PLC 250µm is a passive fiber-optic splitter designed for FTTH/FTTB networks. The device uses planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology to split one input fiber into two outputs with stable optical characteristics. Housed in a white PVC outer jacket and supplied without connectors, this splitter is intended for fusion-splice installations, fiber patch panels and in-line distribution where compact, connectorless splicing is preferred.

Advantages

The PLC architecture ensures uniform splitting ratio and low polarization dependent loss across a wide wavelength range. A 250µm fiber construction in a PVC jacket provides flexibility for routing in panels or enclosures while maintaining mechanical protection. Supplied without connectors, the unit is optimized for fusion splicing, which reduces insertion loss due to quality splices and allows seamless integration into existing fiber runs.

Suitable for

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) subscriber splitting
• FTTB (Fiber to the Building) in-line distribution
• Integration in fiber patch panels and splice trays
• Field installations requiring fusion splicing

Key specifications

• Splitting ratio: 1:2 (single input to two outputs)
• Technology: Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC)
• Fiber structure: 250 µm primary coated fiber
• Outer material: PVC jacket, white color
• Connectorization: supplied without connectors (for fusion splicing)
• Intended use: passive optical networks, FTTH/FTTB

How to use

Prepare incoming and outgoing fiber ends by stripping and cleaning according to standard fiber-optic procedures. Perform fusion splicing between the splitter pigtails and the network fibers, taking care to align cores and minimize splice loss. Route the 250µm fibers into splice trays or patch panels, and secure the PVC jacket to strain relief points to prevent mechanical stress on the splices. Test optical loss and continuity after installation to verify correct splitting and acceptable insertion loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the splitter in a dust-free environment and avoid excessive bending of the 250µm fibers; maintain bending radii recommended for single-mode fiber. Use a certified fusion splicer and appropriate splice protection sleeves. For best performance in FTTH deployments, perform end-to-end optical power testing and document splitter locations within the network map.
