Optische PLC-splitter 1:8 Extralink 900 µm vezel, zonder stekker

Extralink Optical PLC Splitter 1:8 with 900 µm fiber is a passive fiber-optic device that divides a single optical input into eight outputs using planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. Supplied without connectors and built on 900 µm (0.9 mm) pigtail fiber, the splitter is housed in a compact steel box designed for easy placement inside fiber organizers, couplers or splice trays. The unit is intended for use in passive FTTH/FTTx networks and other installations where signal branching without active components is required.

Advantages

The PLC design ensures uniform and stable power distribution across eight outputs, maintaining consistent optical performance for multiple subscribers. The 900 µm pigtail construction provides flexibility for routing and simplifies handling during installation in confined spaces. The compact steel housing protects the internal components and allows straightforward mounting in existing fiber management systems. Supplied without connectors, the splitter offers adaptability for technicians who prefer to terminate with specific connectors or fusion-splice directly to patch cords.

Suitable for

• Passive FTTH/FTTx distribution networks
• Fiber-to-the-home splits in multi-dwelling or multi-unit buildings
• Optical signal branching in telecom and data center cabling
• Integration into fiber splice trays and distribution panels

Key specifications

• Split ratio: 1 input to 8 outputs (symmetrical)
• Fiber type: 900 µm (0.9 mm) pigtail fiber
• Packaging: blister pack to prevent cable tangling
• Enclosure: compact steel box for mounting in organizers
• Connector status: supplied without input or output connectors (unpigtail ends for termination or splicing)

How to use

Mount the steel-housed splitter into a compatible fiber organizer or splice tray. Prepare the fiber pigtails according to standard fiber handling procedures, then either fusion-splice the pigtails to pre-terminated patch cords or terminate them with the desired connectors. Secure fibers inside the organizer to prevent strain on the splice points and route the output fibers to subscriber distribution panels or patch panels. Verify optical loss and continuity with an optical power meter or OTDR after installation.

Recommendations

Handle fibers and the pigtail ends with care to avoid micro-bends or contamination. Use appropriate cleaning tools and follow industry standard procedures for splicing and connectorization. Ensure the splitter is installed in a dry, vibration-free enclosure and protected from excessive bending or pulling to maintain long-term optical performance.
