19" rack mounting for BWN-PLC-RM PLC splitters

Product detailed description

19" rack mounting for PLC splitters allows cable-free organization of PLC splitters and increased clarity during installations. Notice: Mounting is supplied without splitters A PLC splitter (Planar Lightwave Circuit splitter) is a device used in optical communication networks to split an optical signal into multiple branches. It is a passive device, which means it does not need power or electronic components to split the signal. PLC splitters are often used in a Passive Optical Network (PON), which is commonly used in telecommunications and broadband Internet access. The working principle of a PLC splitter is to split the optical signal using an integrated optical path on a silicon substrate. This path is created by a planar waveguide structure technique, which means that light waves are rectified and split into different branches or ports. Typically, PLC splitters are manufactured in the form of modules with a certain number of output ports, such as 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, etc., where the first number indicates a single input path and the second number indicates the number of output ports. PLC splitters are cost-effective and offer low signal loss, which is important for maintaining the quality of data transmission in optical networks. They are widely used in optical access networks to distribute the signal from a single source to multiple receivers.
