Clearfield® provides Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) and Fused Biconic Taper (FBT) Splitters in a variety of optical component packages for the network and application need allowing carriers the ability to provide uniform fully passive signal splitting to multiple premises.

Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC or Planar)
A light circuit on an ‘optical chip’ is mounted on a carrier and fibers, usually in ribbon form, are bonded to the edges of the chip. The assembly is encapsulated in a protective enclosure. PLC devices support direct split counts up to 64. In planar fabrication technology, devices are made using ion-exchange or photo-lithography techniques that replicate solid-state circuit methods. Ultimately, the per-unit cost for the expected high volumes will become advantageous for planar technology, especially for higher port devices. A difficult manufacturing problem involves a low-loss method for attaching the optical fibers to the chip and then passing the market’s qualification and reliability requirements.

Application
Ruggedized Splitter for outside plant cabinet environments.

Description
The Clearfield® WaveSmart Premium Ruggedized Splitter is the standard splitter component in its line of FieldSmart® FSC OSP Cabinets. The splitter addresses environmental
and human handling issues that other standard splitters in the industry cannot combat. It provides improved fiber protection, management and maintenance in OSP FTTx deployments.
The Optical Staging Plate, the industry’s highest density product supporting ruggedized splitters in hardened environments, maximizes space for placing the optical fiber splitter legs of cabinet splitters where real estate is at a premium. Designed with performance in mind, the highly dense WaveSmart Optical Staging Plate allows for quick install and removal of splitter legs using adapters that support quick “Red Light” port testing or identification.

Features and Benefits
Integrity
• Terminations are designed and tested to Telcordia GR-326

• Optical component configuration uses devices that are compliant to Telcordia GR 1221/1209

Protection
• Ruggedized jacket material of input and output legs provide superior flexibility in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 85°C (-67°F to 185°F)
• Legs will not sag or wilt at extreme temperatures or during extreme temperature cycles
• 20 year warranty

Access
• Splitters legs come preloaded in staging plate for easy access and turn-up
• Fiber separators every 17” (431.80 mm) to easily recognize and prevent twisting of fiber legs
• Each leg is 51” (1295.40 mm) long and able to reach any port
• Each leg labeled for easy identification
• Red boot on input leg

Investment
• Splitter package supports one 1 x 64, 1 x 32, two 1 x 16 or four 1 x 8 configurations without penalty in real estate or port counts
