Product Overview
This series of PLC splitters is housed in ABS plastic boxes or metal boxes, designed for FTTH/FTTx distribution points, optical cross-connection cabinets, and subscriber terminal boxes where space is limited. The modules can be supplied with or without pre-terminated connectors and support custom pigtail lengths and fiber types.
Package Types and Dimensions
All dimensions are in millimeters (L × W × H) for modules with input/output pigtails (connectors not included in dimensions).
