Product Structure & Composition
Optical Splitting Core: PLC-based core splits input from one port into eight outputs with consistent accuracy and signal integrity.
ABS Enclosure: Compact ABS housing protects the core from dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, and fits cabinets or wall enclosures.
Connectors and Pigtails: Default SC/APC with 2.0mm single-mode pigtails (G652D/G657A) reduces back-reflection; other connector types and polish options available on request.
Benefits of 1x8 ABS Fiber Splitter
Efficient Optical Signal Distribution:
The 1x8 configuration is well - suited for a variety of applications. In FTTH (Fiber - to - the - Home) networks, it can distribute optical signals to a small group of households. In PON (Passive Optical Network) systems, it can connect multiple optical network units (ONUs) to the optical line terminal (OLT). In CATV (Cable Television) networks, it can split the signal to serve several subscribers, and in LAN (Local Area Network) environments, it can expand the network connectivity to multiple devices.
Compact and Easy - to - install Design:
The compact ABS enclosure makes the splitter easy to install in different network setups. Its small size allows it to fit into tight spaces in network cabinets or wall - mounted enclosures. This not only saves space but also simplifies the installation process, reducing the overall deployment time and cost
Connector and Polish Customization:
The availability of different connector types and polishing options provides flexibility in network deployment. Whether the existing network infrastructure uses LC - based high - density cabling, FC connectors for high - performance connections, or ST connectors for quick - connect applications, the splitter can be customized to meet these requirements. The choice between UPC and APC polish also allows for optimization of signal performance based on the specific application needs.
Superior Performance:
With low insertion loss, high reliability, and uniform optical performance, the splitter ensures high - quality optical signal distribution. Low insertion loss means that the optical signal loses minimal power as it passes through the splitter, while high reliability and uniform optical performance across all output channels guarantee consistent and reliable data transmission.
Engineering Applications 1x8 ABS Fiber Splitter
Fiber - to - the - Home (FTTH):
In FTTH networks, the 1x8 ABS Fiber Splitter can be installed in the distribution cabinet near a residential building. It splits the optical signal from the feeder fiber into eight individual fibers, each connecting to a different home. This enables the delivery of high - speed internet, voice, and video services to multiple households.
Passive Optical Network (PON):
In PON systems, the splitter is used to connect multiple ONUs to the OLT. It helps in efficiently distributing the optical signal across the network, ensuring high - speed data transfer between the central office and the end - users. The 1x8 configuration is suitable for serving a moderate number of subscribers in a PON network.
Cable Television (CATV):
In CATV networks, the splitter can be used to split the optical signal carrying TV channels to several subscribers. It ensures that each subscriber receives a high - quality signal for clear and reliable television viewing.

1x8 ABS Fiber Splitter Selection Guide
| Your Situation | →Best Choice |
|---|---|
| Deployed in outdoor boxes, pole mounts, or underground junction boxes | ABS Box PLC |
| Deployed in standard 19-inch racks or ODF cabinets | LGX Cassette PLC |
| Need to frequently swap splitter modules without interrupting service | LGX Cassette PLC (the only one supporting hot-swapping) |
| Require absolutely uniform output port power | Any PLC style (ABS or LGX) |
| Need non-standard split ratios (like 1×3, 70/30%, etc.) | FBT (PLCs usually only offer uniform ratios) |
| Budget is extremely tight, and the number of splits ≤4, uniformity not critical | FBT (price advantage for 1×4 or below) |
| Number of splits is 1×8 or higher | PLC (FBT cascades perform poorly and are costly) |
| Maintenance staff want to patch directly at the front without opening the box | LGX Cassette PLC (front panel adapters) |
New outdoor projects → unconditionally choose ABS Box PLC.
Server rooms/data centers → prioritize LGX Cassette PLC; the hot-swappable feature is worth much more than the price difference.
Only consider FBT if you need uneven splitting and the number of splits is ≤4 with high performance tolerance; otherwise, PLC is recommended across the board.
Installation Instructions of 1×8 LGX Box-Type Fiber Splitter
Pre-installation Inspection
Inspect ABS box for damage, SC/APC connectors for clean ferrules and intact polish, pigtails for kinks/cuts, and verify port labels are legible.
Mounting the Splitter
Secure the splitter using the mounting holes in a cabinet or box; ensure it is firmly fixed to prevent movement.
Fiber Connection
Align and insert the input SC/APC connector, then repeat for all 8 output ports, labeling each connection clearly.
Testing
Measure insertion loss and return loss at each output; compare to specifications. If deviations occur, re‑check connections, clean connectors, and inspect for internal damage.
