PLC splitter low-loss sample quality assurance
In PLC splitters, the photolithography process ensures a low and uniform PDL, so even as the polarization state of light changes within the fiber, signal loss remains nearly constant. This stability helps maintain consistent service quality in FTTx and PON deployments. In this article, we explore the quality assurance process of Fiber Optic PLC Splitters and its importance in ensuring optimal network performance. The products chosen to performance the qualification testing are 1x8 PLC splitters by following requirement of Telcordia GR-1221-CORE. With a wide operating wavelength range, high optical performance and very high reliability these are suitable for use in PON networks to realize perfect optical si and LC-APC Adapters.
