The fiber optical splitter is a passive optical device that can split, or separate, an incident light beam into several light beams at a certain ratio
1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16,1x32,1x64 1U rack mount type PLC splitter and
2x2, 2x4, 2x8, 2x16, 2x32, 2x64 1U rack mount type PLC splitters.
There are four types of fiber optic connectors are widely used for terminating single fibers. They are LC, SC, ST and FC connectors. LC connector has a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule which is only half the size of other connectors. It’s a snap-in connector usually used for high-density applications. SC connector uses a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule and also features a snap-in connection for quick cable patching. Different from other connectors, ST connector uses a bayonet twist-lock connection with 2.5mm ferrule. Moreover, FC is a screw type connector with 2.5mm ferrule but is becoming less popular than LC and SC connectors. This fiber optic splitter/fiber coupler provides Highest Quality Signal
When terminating the optic fiber with connector, you should also decide the polish type if the connector is not polished in advance. Generally, connector end face will be polished to minimize back reflection of light. Using the mated polish styles, light can propagate through connectors with lower fiber loss. There are four types of polish styles – flat, PC, UPC and APC polishes. Among them, UPC and APC types are more popular in the industry. The major difference between UPC and APC connectors is that the APC type is polished at an 8-degree angle while UPC has no angle, but they are both slightly curved for better core alignment. As for the color, UPC connector is usually blue and APC connector is green. Our Fiber Splitter provides Highest Quality Data transfer available.

Please note, each 1x N Optical Splitter Coupler has its own specific INSERTION LOSS
It is the loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber and is usually expressed in decibels (dB). The loss table below describes how it works with each box type of signal loss.

1. A common approach is to use an RF over fiber transmitter at the headend, a passive optical splitter or coupler in the fiber path, and an RF over fiber receiver at each remote site. Thor’s F-RF-1310-TX series is designed to carry the full RF spectrum over fiber, and the F-RF-RX-RM is the matching rack-mount receiver used to convert the optical signal back to RF at the far end. Thor also offers passive F-PLC optical splitters in configurations from 1x2 up to 1x128.
2. Yes, it can, but the design depends heavily on the optical loss budget. A passive splitter divides the optical power, so each output receives less optical power than the original transmitter output. That means a one-transmitter, multi-site design can work, but only if the transmitter power, splitter loss, fiber length, and fiber condition all stay within the receiver’s acceptable range. Thor’s passive F-PLC line is specifically intended for this kind of optical distribution use.
3. For only two destinations, two dedicated transmitters can often be the safer and cleaner design, especially when the remote sites are far away and the optical loss margin is tight. In the conversation example, the two sites were around 15 km and 25 km from the headend, so the recommendation to consider separate high-power transmitters makes sense because splitting one optical signal adds loss before the fiber distance is even considered. This is a design recommendation based on link-budget planning rather than a fixed rule. Thor does offer higher-output RF over fiber transmitters such as the 32 mW F-RF-1310-TX-32mW for larger distribution networks
Insertion loss in passive optical splitters refers to the loss of power that occurs when light is split and distributed to multiple fibers. The term "insertion loss" is used to describe the power loss that occurs as light passes through an optical splitter. The insertion loss is usually measured in decibels (dB) and represents the ratio of the input power to the output power.
Insertion loss in passive optical splitters is caused by several factors, including the imperfections in the splitter's design, the difference in the refractive index of the materials used in the splitter, and the absorption of light by impurities in the splitter.
The most common types of passive optical splitters are the fused biconic taper (FBT) splitter and the planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter. FBT splitters are made by fusing two optical fibers together, while PLC splitters are made using micro-optics technology. Both types of splitters have their own unique insertion loss characteristics.
The insertion loss of the FBT splitter is typically higher than that of the PLC splitter, due to the fact that FBT splitters are made by fusing two optical fibers together, which can cause light to be lost due to imperfections in the splicing technique. On the other hand, PLC splitters are made using micro-optics technology, which reduces the insertion loss by allowing for more precise control of the light distribution.
Thor Fiber offers PLC splitters only F-PLC-1x2 - 1x128
The use of passive optical splitters results in each splitter having its own insertion loss. For example, the F-PLC-1x2 1x2 splitter has a 4.5dB insertion loss.

In summary, insertion loss in passive optical splitters refers to the loss of power that occurs when light is split and distributed to multiple fibers. This loss is caused by several factors such as imperfections in the splitter's design, the difference in the refractive index of the materials used and the absorption of light by impurities. The insertion loss of the FBT splitter is typically higher than that of the PLC splitter.
These PLC slitters will not filter any optical wavelengths.
They split or combine all incoming wavelengths equally, without discrimination.
If you need wavelength-specific filtering or routing, we can supply CWDM or DWDM passive filters instead.
If that’s the case, please specify the optical wavelengths you plan to use so we can provide the correct components.
CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing):CWDM typically operates with wavelengths spaced 20nm apart. Common CWDM wavelengths include: 1270, 1290, 1310, 1330, 1350, 1370, 1390, 1410, 1430, 1450, 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, 1610 nm CWDM is ideal for short to medium distances (up to ~80km) and offers cost-effective solutions for multiplexing up to 18 channels over a single fiber.
DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing):DWDM uses much tighter spacing between wavelengths (typically 0.8nm or 100GHz apart), allowing more channels. Common DWDM channels follow the ITU-T Grid, including wavelengths like: C-Band (1528.77nm to 1563.86nm) – Channels 17 to 61 DWDM is best for long-distance, high-capacity fiber transport.
