SFT-P series 2xN Planar Optical Splitter

The 2xN Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLC) optical splitters are high performance, reliable and compact devices for splitting optical power, specifically designed to meet the tough requirements of FTTH, PON and CATV networks. Based on unique waveguide technology of Ion-Exchange in glass, such splitters exhibit very low insertion loss and PDL, great channel uniformity and a wide wavelength operative range.

The 2xN PLC optical splitters are available in 2x4, 2x8, 2x16, 2x32, 2x64, 2x128 and custom configurations, and comply with Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221 requirements. Various packaging types, input and output fibers are available according to the customer demand.

  • Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitters
  • Low insertion loss
  • Ultra wide bandwidth (1260-1650 nm)
  • Polarization independent
  • Excellent channel uniformity
