Product Structure & Composition
1. Optical Splitting Core
The PLC‑based splitting core evenly divides the input signal into eight output ports, ensuring accurate and consistent splitting across all channels.
2. LGX Module
The compact LGX module houses the splitting core, fits standard patch panels, saves space, and protects internal components from damage and environmental factors.
3. Connectors and Pigtails
Default SC/APC connectors with 2.0 mm single‑mode pigtails (G652D/G657A) reduce back‑reflection. Other connector types (LC, FC, ST) and UPC/APC polishes are available on request.
Benefits of 1x8 LGX Module Optical Splitter
Space - saving and Easy Integration
The compact LGX cassette design allows for seamless integration into patch panels. In high - density fiber optic networks, such as those in data centers or telecom central offices, space is often limited. The LGX module's ability to fit neatly into patch panels optimizes the use of available space and simplifies the cabling process.
Balanced Signal Distribution
The 1x8 configuration ensures that the optical signal is evenly distributed among the eight output channels. This balanced distribution is crucial for applications where each output needs to receive a consistent and reliable optical signal, such as in multi - user access networks or when connecting multiple devices in a local area network.
Fiber Compatibility for Long - distance Transmission
Compatibility with G652D and G657A single - mode fibers makes the splitter suitable for long - distance transmission applications. These fiber types are known for their low - loss characteristics over long distances, and the splitter's ability to work with them ensures efficient signal distribution over extended network spans.
Connector and Polish Customization
The availability of different connector types and polish 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.
Excellent Performance
With low insertion loss, excellent stability, and uniform 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 excellent stability and uniform performance across all output channels guarantee reliable data transmission.
Engineering Applications 1x8 LGX Module Optical Splitter
Fiber - to - the - x (FTTx) Networks
In FTTx networks, especially in Fiber - to - the - Home (FTTH) or Fiber - to - the - Building (FTTB) scenarios, the 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter can be used to distribute optical signals from the optical line terminal (OLT) to multiple end - users. For example, it can split the signal to serve eight apartments or offices within a building, providing high - speed internet, voice, and video services.
Local Area Networks (LANs)
In LANs, the splitter can be used to expand the network connectivity within a building or a campus. It can split the optical signal from a central switch to connect multiple workstations, servers, printers, and other network - enabled devices. The balanced signal distribution ensures that each device receives a reliable optical signal for seamless data sharing and communication.
Data Centers
Data centers require high - density fiber optic connections for efficient data transfer between servers, storage systems, and network switches. The 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter can be installed in patch panels within the data center to split optical signals, enabling high - speed and reliable communication between different components. Its compact design and excellent performance make it an ideal choice for data center environments

1x8 LGX Module Optical Splitter Selection Guide
When choosing between a 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter and a 1x16 PLC rack - mount fiber splitter, consider the scale and density of your network. If your network has medium - density requirements, such as a medium - sized FTTx project, a small to medium - sized LAN, or a data center sub - network, the 1x8 splitter is a suitable choice. Its lower insertion loss due to fewer split paths and compact LGX design for patch panel integration can be advantageous in these scenarios.
However, if you are dealing with a large - scale high - density network, like a major FTTx deployment, a large data center, or a major telecom network expansion, the 1x16 splitter may be more appropriate. It offers a higher - density splitting solution to accommodate a larger number of users or network devices.
Parameter - Best Fit
| Parameter | Best Fit |
|---|---|
| Medium - density network applications | 1x8 PLC LGX Module Optical Splitter |
| Large - scale high - density network applications | 1x16 PLC Rack Mount Fiber Splitter |
| Medium - sized FTTx projects | 1x8 PLC LGX Module Optical Splitter |
| Large FTTx deployments or large data centers | 1x16 PLC Rack Mount Fiber Splitter |
Mixed deployment guidance:
In a large - scale network with a mix of high - density and medium - density areas, a combination of 1x8 and 1x16 splitters can be used. 1x16 splitters can be installed in areas with a high concentration of users or devices, such as the main distribution areas of a large FTTx network or a large data center. 1x8 splitters can be deployed in areas with a lower density of connections, like in smaller sub - networks or for connecting a limited number of devices in a data center. This approach optimizes cost - effectiveness and space utilization.
Installation Instructions of 1x8 LGX Module Optical Splitter
Pre - installation Inspection
Visually inspect the 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter. Check the LGX module for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or scratches. Examine the SC/APC connectors; the ferrules should be clean, and the angled polish should be free from debris. Ensure that the 2.0mm pigtails are in good condition without any kinks or cuts. Also, check the labeling on the input and output ports to ensure it is clear.
Integration into Patch Panel
Insert the LGX module into an available slot in the patch panel. Make sure the module is properly aligned and securely seated. Some patch panels may require the use of screws or locking mechanisms to hold the module in place.
Fiber Connection
Connect the single - mode fiber (G652D or G657A) to the input port of the splitter. Align the key on the SC/APC connector with the keyway of the input port and insert the connector firmly until it locks.
For the eight output ports, connect the respective single - mode fibers to each port in the same manner. Make sure to label each output connection clearly for easy identification during network operation and maintenance.
Testing
Use an optical power meter to measure the insertion loss at each of the eight output ports. Compare the measured values with the specified insertion loss of the splitter. If the measured values are significantly higher, re - check the connections, clean the connectors if necessary, and inspect the splitter for any internal damage. Also, check the return loss to ensure it meets the specified standards for reliable signal distribution.

What is the difference between UPC and APC polish?
UPC (Ultra - Physical Contact) polish provides a flat - ended, highly polished ferrule surface. It results in low insertion loss and is suitable for general - purpose optical connections where minimizing signal loss during transmission is the main concern. APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish, on the other hand, has an angled ferrule surface (usually 8°). This angled design helps to reduce back - reflection, resulting in high return loss. APC polish is often used in applications where minimizing signal reflections is critical, such as long - distance or high - performance optical links.
Can the 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter be used for outdoor applications?
The 1x8 PLC LGX module optical splitter is primarily designed for indoor use, such as in patch panels within data centers, telecom central offices, or building wiring closets. While it can be used in some sheltered outdoor enclosures, for fully exposed outdoor applications, additional protection measures would be required. Outdoor environments may subject the splitter to harsh weather conditions, UV radiation, and physical stress, which could affect its performance and lifespan.
