The types of fiber optic PLC splitter
A planar waveguide fiber optic splitter (PLC Splitter) is an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device based on a quartz substrate. Its main function is to split optical signals from one optical fiber to multiple optical fibers. According to different aspects such as appearance structure and functional characteristics, PLC can be divided into various types, including bare ribbon fiber optic PLC splitter, steel tube fiber optic PLC splitter, cassette type fiber optic PLC splitter, LGX fiber optic PLC splitter and rack mount chassis fiber optic PLC splitter.
Bare ribbon fiber optic PLC splitter
It is a kind of fiber optic cable exposed in the air which has the characteristics of small size, good anti-interference performance, and fast data transmission speed. It is usually used in the field of short distance, high speed data transmission and small equipment control.
Steel tube fiber optic PLC splitter
The second is the steel tube fiber optic PLC splitter, which has the characteristics of steel tube shell, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, and drop resistance. It is usually used in harsh industrial environments, such as on-site control systems in steel, chemical, and marine industries.
Cassette type fiber optic PLC splitter
The cassette type fiber optic PLC splitter is an integrated structure, which looks like a small box. It has the characteristics of easy installation, easy maintenance, and low cost. It is suitable for the control of most small and medium-sized equipment and the control of general equipment.
LGX fiber optic PLC splitter
The LGX fiber optic PLC splitter uses plug-in components, which are characterized by easy replacement, compact structure, and strong adaptability. It is usually used in the control of automatic production lines, electric power, transportation and other fields.
Rack mount chassis fiber optic PLC splitter
The rack mount chassis fiber optic PLC splitter is a modular structure, which adopts the groove installation method, and has the characteristics of small footprint, strong expansion ability, and high reliability. It is usually used in the field of large-scale industrial automation.
