AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 1 Optical Connectivity Coupler s / Splitters Planar Lightwave Circuits split optical power evenly over the entire single-mode operating window (1260-1650 nm). Split counts are available from 1x4 up to 2x32 and input/output fibers can be supplied with or without connectors. Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitters Features • Full spectrum (1260-1650 nm) operation • Even split ratio over entire bandwidth • Compact design • Low PDL and temperature sensitivity • High directivity Applications • Telecommunications • CATV • LAN • Monitoring of networks Specifications PARAMETER UNITS VALUE 1x4 1x8 1x16 1x32 Operating Wavelength nm 1260-1650 Insertion Loss (IL)* dB ≤ 7.4 ≤ 10.8 ≤ 14.3 ≤ 17.4 Uniformity dB ≤ 0.8 ≤ 1.0 ≤ 1.3 ≤ 1.5 Return Loss (RL) dB ≥ 50 Directivity dB ≥ 55 PDL dB ≤ 0.2 ≤ 0.3 Operating Temperature °C -40 to +85 Storage Temperature °C -40 to +85 * Without connectors.
