1U Rack Splitter

The 1U Rack Splitter is a carrier-grade, 19″ rack-mount PLC optical splitter tray designed for reliable signal distribution at POP/IDC and access sites. It supports standard split counts (1×2/4/8/16/32/64 and 2×2/4/8/16/32) as well as tap coupler ratios (99/1 to 70/30) for monitoring and power budgeting. Wideband operation from 1260–1650 nm ensures uniform performance across O, E, S, C, and L bands.
A front-access design with bend-radius control, clear port labeling, and optional splice cassettes streamlines turn-up and MAC operations. LC/UPC or LC/APC are standard (SC/UPC, SC/APC optional). Built with low insertion loss, high split uniformity, minimal PDL, and high return loss, the tray integrates neatly with HYD 1U/2U/5U platforms alongside MUX/DEMUX, OLP, and OCM modules. Optional monitor ports and OTDR access facilitate rapid fault localization and live power checks without disrupting traffic.
