Why Choose PLC Splitter Instead of FBT Splitter?
Compared with traditional FBT splitters, PLC splitters offer significant advantages.
| PLC Splitter | FBT Splitter |
|---|---|
| Wide wavelength range | Limited wavelength |
| Better splitting uniformity | Uneven output power |
| Higher reliability | More temperature sensitive |
| Compact structure | Larger size |
| Suitable for PON | Limited applications |
| Better long-term stability | Higher maintenance cost |
For modern FTTH and GPON deployments, PLC splitters are the preferred choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1×8 PLC splitter?
A 1×8 PLC splitter is a passive optical device that divides one incoming optical signal evenly into eight output fibers while maintaining stable optical performance.
What is the typical insertion loss of a 1×8 PLC splitter?
The typical insertion loss is approximately 10.2 dB, with a maximum insertion loss generally not exceeding 10.5 dB, depending on connector type and manufacturing tolerance.
What is the difference between a PLC splitter and an FBT splitter?
PLC splitters provide wider wavelength operation, better splitting uniformity, lower PDL, and higher reliability, making them the preferred choice for GPON and FTTH networks.
