Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:4 PLC SC/APC 2.0 mm 1.5 m G657A ABS module

Extralink Splitter 1:4 PLC SC/APC 2.0 mm 1.5 m G657A ABS module is a passive fibre optic splitter designed for compact optical distribution in FTTH, PON and LAN networks. The device provides symmetrical 1:4 splitting using PLC technology and SC/APC connectors, with 2.0 mm single-mode fiber pigtails compatible with G.657A fiber. Housed in a black ABS module, the splitter is intended for installation in rack-mounted equipment and fiber cabinets where low loss and stable passive splitting are required.

Advantages

The splitter offers a uniform 1:4 power distribution and low insertion loss characteristic of PLC splitters. Its SC/APC connectors ensure low back-reflection for single-mode applications, while the 2.0 mm patchcords provide mechanical protection and ease of routing inside switches and cabinets. The ABS enclosure protects the internal component and enables straightforward mounting or placement in standard distribution enclosures. The product is supplied packaged to prevent cable tangling during handling and installation.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber distribution in multi-dwelling and single-dwelling installations
• PON network splits between the optical line terminal and multiple optical network terminals
• LANs requiring passive optical branching and signal distribution
• Small to medium-sized fiber distribution cabinets and rack-mounted panels

Key specifications

• Splitting ratio: 1:4 passive PLC splitting with symmetrical power distribution
• Connector type: SC/APC on input and outputs
• Fiber type compatibility: single-mode G.657A
• Pigtail diameter: 2.0 mm buffered fiber
• Pigtail length: 1.5 m
• Enclosure material: ABS module in compact form factor
• Packaging: blister pack to reduce cable tangling during transport

How to use

Connect the input SC/APC connector to the upstream optical source or patch panel, ensuring proper alignment and clean connector endfaces. Route the 2.0 mm pigtails through the distribution cabinet or rack, and connect the output SC/APC connectors to the downstream customer or distribution ports. Secure the ABS module within the chosen enclosure or mounting location to prevent strain on the fiber pigtails. Verify optical power levels and loss after installation to confirm correct splitting and acceptable insertion loss.

Recommendations

Clean all SC/APC connector endfaces before installation, avoid tight bends in the 2.0 mm pigtails (maintain recommended bend radius for G.657A fiber), and mount the ABS module in a location that prevents mechanical stress. Perform optical power measurements after connection to ensure each branch meets the required signal budget.
