Cable splitter Extralink Splitter 1:4 PLC SC/APC 900um 1.5m Green White

Extralink PLC 1:4 0.9 mm fiber optic splitter with SC/APC connectors is a passive optical device for FTTH networks that distributes one incoming optical signal to four outputs without active electronics. The splitter uses a PLC (planar lightwave circuit) design with symmetrical 1:4 power distribution and is housed in a compact steel box suitable for installation in switches and fiber closures. The unit is built on 0.9 mm pigtail fiber and comes with a 1.5 m cable; connectors are SC/APC. The product is supplied in blister packaging to prevent cable tangling. The housing and cable colours are green and white, matching industry colour coding for easy identification.

Advantages

The PLC splitter provides uniform and stable power distribution across four outputs with low insertion loss and no need for external power. Its compact steel enclosure allows straightforward mounting in standard fiber distribution panels and closures. The 0.9 mm pigtail design offers flexibility for splicing and routing inside distribution boxes, and SC/APC connectors ensure low back-reflection where required. Blister packaging protects the pigtail and simplifies handling during installation.

Suitable for

• FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) passive optical network deployments
• Splitting one optical feed to four subscribers or devices
• Installation inside fiber distribution boxes, closures and small switches
• Indoor cabling and splice environments requiring 0.9 mm pigtails

How to use

Mount the compact steel housing in a suitable fiber distribution panel or closure. Route the 0.9 mm pigtail and secure it to prevent strain on the fibers. Splice or connect the input fiber from the optical line to the splitter's input SC/APC connector and connect the four output SC/APC connectors to subscriber lines or downstream equipment. Ensure proper fiber handling to avoid bending below the recommended radius and verify optical loss with a power meter or OTDR after installation.

Recommendations

Handle the 0.9 mm pigtail with care and avoid tight bends; follow standard fiber optic safety and installation procedures. Use SC/APC-compatible connectors and test each output for correct optical power and return loss after installation.
