Technical Design of the Rack Mounted PLC Splitter
The technical excellence of the EPCOM splitter lies in its meticulous design and the advanced PLC technology at its core. This technology involves fabricating optical waveguides on a silica glass substrate, allowing for precise and uniform splitting of light signals with minimal loss.
Understanding the PLC Splitter Module
At the heart of the unit is the PLC chip, which precisely divides a single optical input into multiple outputs. This chip is protected within a robust housing, ensuring its stability and performance. The input and output fibers are pre-terminated with high-quality connectors (typically SC or LC with APC/UPC polish options) for immediate plug-and-play installation. This modular approach simplifies maintenance and allows for efficient network deployment. For complex connections, high-quality cabling such as our MPO/MTP Patch Cord is often used to ensure dense and reliable connectivity between devices.
Robust Mechanical Construction
The splitter module is housed in a durable cold-rolled steel enclosure. This design not only provides physical protection but also simplifies handling and installation. The material selection ensures a lightweight yet strong housing that can withstand the rigors of a professional networking environment. The universal 1U height and 19-inch width make it compatible with all standard server racks, a critical factor for efficient space utilization in any data center.
