Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:2 PLC SC/UPC 900µm with 1.5 m cable (blue/white, PVC)

Extralink Splitter 1:2 PLC SC/UPC 900µm with 1.5 m cable (blue/white, PVC) is a passive fiber optic splitter designed to divide a single optical input into two identical outputs using planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. The unit features SC/UPC connectors and a 0.9 mm buffered fiber pigtail on a 1.5 m lead, housed in a compact steel tube with PVC outer jacket. Intended for FTTH and passive optical network deployments, the splitter provides a stable, wavelength-independent split suitable for signal distribution and laboratory setups.

Advantages

The PLC design ensures uniform and stable power distribution across the two outputs with low polarization dependency and wide wavelength compatibility. The 0.9 mm buffered fiber pigtail simplifies routing and installation in fiber organizers and splice trays, while the compact steel tube housing allows secure mounting in switches and couplers. SC/UPC connectors offer reliable physical contact and easy mating with standard telecom equipment. The PVC-jacketed cable provides mechanical protection during handling and installation.

Suitable for

• FTTH split deployments where one fiber is shared between two subscribers
• Passive optical networks (PON) and local loop signal distribution
• Lab testing and optical signal distribution in rack or bench setups
• Integration into fiber organizers, splice closures and small enclosure assemblies

How to use

Prepare the existing fiber run by ensuring clean and properly terminated SC/UPC ports on the equipment or patch panel. Route the 1.5 m pigtail to the desired mounting point and secure the steel tube housing in an appropriate organizer or bracket. Connect the input fiber to the splitter input SC/UPC connector and connect the two output SC/UPC connectors to the destination fibers or patch ports. Verify optical continuity and power levels with an optical power meter or test equipment to confirm expected split ratios and loss values.

Recommendations

Handle SC/UPC connectors and the 0.9 mm buffered fiber with care: keep connector endfaces clean, avoid sharp bends at the pigtail, and secure the cable to prevent strain. Use appropriate cleaning tools for connector endfaces before mating, and perform optical power measurements after installation to validate link performance.
