Fiber optic PLC splitter Extralink 1:32, 2.0 mm G657A cable, 1.5 m, ABS/PC module, no connectors

EXTRALINK PLC fiber optic splitter 1:32 2.0mm without connectors is a passive device for FTTH networks that splits a single optical signal into 32 identical outputs. It is designed for use where optical signal distribution is required without active components, enabling delivery from the server room to multiple subscriber terminals while preserving the optical transmission medium.

Advantages

The PLC splitter provides symmetrical 1:32 power distribution and is built on a 2.0 mm patchcord cable for safe installation in rack switches or external fiber cabinets. Its ABS enclosure offers mechanical protection and convenient mounting inside distribution panels. The splitter is compatible with G.657.A1 fiber and covers a wide operating wavelength range, making it suitable for typical FTTH deployments.

How to use

Install the splitter inside a rack switch or fiber distribution cabinet, securing the ABS enclosure in the intended mounting location. Route the 2.0 mm patchcords carefully to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Connect the feeder fiber from the OLT or server room to the splitter input and terminate the output fibers to subscriber distribution points or adapters as required. Ensure all splices or connectorizations comply with standard fiber handling procedures to maintain specified insertion and return loss values.

Recommendations

Use the splitter in controlled cabinet or rack environments and avoid exposure to direct mechanical impact or moisture. Verify fiber type (G.657.A1) and perform optical power testing after installation to confirm correct split ratios and acceptable insertion loss.
