Glasvezel-PLC-splitter 1:8 Extralink SC/APC 2,0 mm 1,5 m G657A ABS-module (zonder stekker)

PLC fiber optic splitter Extralink 1:8 is a compact passive device for splitting a single optical input into eight outputs. Built as an ABS module with G.657.A1-compliant single-mode fiber, it uses SC/APC port geometry and a 2.0 mm cable diameter. The unit is supplied without connectors for direct integration into fiber distribution frames, patch panels, splice enclosures or custom cabling assemblies; the total cable length is 1.5 m, providing sufficient reach for typical rack or enclosure installations.

Advantages

The Extralink 1:8 PLC splitter offers uniform power distribution across eight outputs with stable spectral performance typical of planar lightwave circuit technology. Its ABS-module construction provides mechanical protection and easy mounting inside distribution boxes. Use of G.657.A1 single-mode fiber ensures good bend performance for installations in confined paths, while SC/APC port geometry supports low back-reflection connections when mated with APC-terminated equipment.

Suitable for

• FTTx passive optical networks (PON) where a single feeder must serve multiple subscribers
• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) distribution inside cabinets and subscriber enclosures
• Integration into patch panels, splice trays or custom distribution harnesses
• Telecom and data center fiber splitting tasks requiring compact ABS modules

Key specifications

• Splitting ratio: 1 input to 8 outputs
• Fiber type: single-mode, G.657.A1 compliant
• Connector type (port geometry): SC/APC (module supplied without connectors fitted)
• Cable diameter: 2.0 mm
• Total cable length: 1.5 m
• Module housing material: ABS
• Passive device, requires no power

How to use

Prepare the installation area inside a distribution box or rack-mounted panel and secure the ABS module using suitable clips or mounting points. If connectors are required, terminate fiber ends with SC/APC connectors or splice the module pigtails to pre-terminated cables according to standard fiber preparation and polishing procedures. Route and secure the 2.0 mm fibers to avoid sharp bends; follow standard bend-radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fiber. After mechanical installation and connectorization/splicing, test each output with an optical power meter or OTDR to verify insertion loss and uniformity across outputs.

Recommendations

Handle fiber ends and the ABS module with care to avoid contamination and microbends. Use APC-terminated mating connectors to minimize back-reflection and ensure stable PON performance. Keep the module in a clean environment during installation and perform optical testing after any splicing or connectorization to confirm expected split ratios and losses.
