1x32 PLC Fiber Splitter
The Other Electricities 1x32 PLC Fiber Splitter mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using only 1U of space. It distributes a single singlemode input across thirty-two SC/APC outputs for passive optical network deployments. The G.657A1 fiber grade supports bend-insensitive routing inside dense cabinets. Network engineers and integrators use it to expand fiber capacity without active equipment.
Split ratio and optical budget
A 50/50 split ratio divides light evenly across all thirty-two ports, giving each path an equal share of the source signal. Insertion loss is specified at 13.8 dB, which defines the usable reach for a given transmitter power and receiver sensitivity. Return loss of 55 dB minimises back-reflection that can degrade upstream lasers. Links requiring lower loss per branch will need a splitter with fewer outputs or an amplified design.
Rack integration and connector layout
The 1U panel presents thirty-two SC/APC adapters on the front for patch-cord access, keeping cable management contained within the rack. Singlemode alignment ensures compatibility with standard OS2 patch leads and pigtails. No power supply or cooling is required, freeing rack power budget and airflow for active gear. Installers must provide sufficient patch-panel depth and cable routing space behind the unit.

Questions about this item
Will this 1x32 splitter fit in the same 19-inch rack as my older patch panels?
Yes, it mounts in a standard 1U 19-inch space so it aligns with existing rack-mount hardware.
How can I verify the splitter is performing correctly after installation?
Measure insertion loss with a light source and power meter; each output should show loss near the specified 13.8 dB and return loss of 55 dB.
What connectors and cables are included, and what must I source separately?
The unit provides 32 SC/APC ports on the front; you will need to supply singlemode patch cords with SC/APC connectors for each connection.
