PLC Splitter (Planar light-wave circuit splitter) is a type of optical power management device that is fabricated using silica optical Waveguide technology. A PLC is a micro-optical component based on planar lightwave circuit technology and provides a low-cost light distribution solution with small form factor and high reliability. PLC splitters have high-quality performance, such as low insertion loss, low PDL, high return loss, etc. The splitter can be designed for a specific wavelength or works with wavelengths (from 1260nm to 1620nm) commonly used in optical transmission. The Structure of PLC splitters Internal Structure: The following figure shows Internal Structure of PLC splitter . The optical fiber light signal is split into 32 outputs. PLC chip is made of silica glass embedded with an optical waveguide. The waveguide has three branches of optical channels. When the light guided through the channels, it is equally divided into multiple lights (up to 64) and trans...

Fiber optic patch cable s, also known as fiber optic cable jumpers or fiber patch cords, are transmission media usually made of glass used to transmit data via light. In recent years, it has become apparent that fiber optic patch cables are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. There are two main types of fiber optic patch cables: single-mode and multimode fiber patch cable. This post will make a comparison between single-mode and multimode fiber patch cable from four aspects: core size, transmission speed and distance, color code, and application. Core Size The core of all fiber cables carries light to transmit data. The main difference between single-mode and multimode fiber patch cables is the size of their respective cores, as shown in the above picture. Single-mode fiber optic cable has a core of 8 to 10 microns. In single-mode cables, light travels toward the center of the core in a single wavelength. Multimode...

PLC chip is made of silica glass embedded with an optical waveguide. The waveguide has three branches of optical channels. When the light guided through the channels, it is equally divided into multiple lights (up to 64) and transmitted via output ports.                                                                                                                Outside Configuration: Bare splitter is the basic component of PLC fiber splitter . For better protection of the fragile fiber and optimized use, PLC splitters are ...

An  armored fiber patch cable  is a special kind of fiber jumper, which is constructed with a helical stainless steel tape over a buffered fiber surrounded by a layer of aramid and stainless steel mesh with an outer jacket of plastics like polyethylene to protect it against solvents and abrasions. Armored fiber patch cable, just as the name indicates, is made of materials that are quite difficult to cut, chew and burn. This kind of material is able to prevent the fiber patch cable from being stretched during cable installation. These  patch cables  are designed to withstand twisting, crushing, and to prevent rodent damage in applications where normal fiber-optic patch cables may fail during installation and operation. Design: An armored fiber optic patch cables are designed with three layers of protection. The outer sleeve of the armored patch cable is usually made of plastics like polyethylene, the layer between the sleeve and inner jacket is made of helical s...

Din Rail Fiber optic patch panel   is an integrated unit for fiber management, these equipment functions are to fix and manage the  fiber optic cable s inside the box as well as provide protection. These are the  fiber enclosure  that can mount on a standard 35mm DIN rail frame. These patch panels are suitable for mounting in Din Rail panels where there is space constraint inside  PLC ‘ s. Because of its compact and rugged designed case, it is suitable for industrial applications. Construction: Our patch panels are fabricated with advanced manufacturing process using Robust steel/aluminum construction with seven tank process pretreatment and electrostatic spray technique powder coating, which ensures the highest level of protection for sensitive components inside the enclosure and increases corrosion resistance for harsh environmental conditions. Multi-port cable entries allow greater flexibility for interconnecting practically two units of outside pla...
