Optical PLC Splitter 1:4 Extralink SC/APC, 2.0 mm G657A, 1.5 m, ABS module, no connectors

Passive optical PLC splitter 1:4 from Extralink with SC/APC interface specification. The unit uses 2.0 mm G657A bend‑insensitive fiber and comes with 1.5 m pigtails terminated for installation. Housed in an ABS module, this splitter is supplied without connectors so it can be mounted inside fiber distribution panels, splice trays or closures for FTTH and PON network deployments.

Advantages

The Extralink PLC splitter provides stable, wavelength‑independent splitting with low insertion loss and uniform channel balance appropriate for multi-branch optical distribution. The use of G657A bend‑insensitive fiber reduces loss in tight routing paths and improves reliability in congested cabling environments. The ABS module housing offers mechanical protection and easy handling during installation, and the absence of factory-installed connectors allows integrators to customize terminations to match panel or closure requirements.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and distribution panels
• PON network split ratios and branch distribution
• Splice trays and fiber closures requiring pigtail‑style splitters
• Laboratory test setups and custom termination environments

Key specifications

• Split ratio: 1:4 optical passive PLC
• Fiber type: G657A bend‑insensitive singlemode
• Fiber jacket diameter: 2.0 mm
• Pigtail length: 1.5 m
• Housing material: ABS module
• Connector status: supplied without connectors for on-site termination
• Interface type: SC/APC compatible pigtails (unconnectorized)

How to use

Install the ABS module inside a compatible fiber distribution panel or closure, secure the pigtails and perform fusion splicing or connectorization as required by the site. Route the 2.0 mm pigtails with appropriate bend radius protection to minimize microbending. Once spliced or terminated to the network ports, verify optical power levels and channel balance across the four output ports using an optical power meter and light source or an OTDR as applicable.

Recommendations

Handle the G657A fibers gently and maintain manufacturer‑recommended minimum bend radius during routing. Perform fusion splices in a clean environment and test each output for insertion loss and return loss after termination. Store the ABS module in a dry, dust‑free location prior to installation and avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress.
