Splitter Pigtail Model and Specifications

Splitter pigtails are fiber optic components that integrate a splitter with pigtail legs, available in various models with SC/LC/FC connectors, single-mode or multimode fibers, and low insertion loss for PON, FTTH, and LAN applications.

Overview of Splitter Pigtail Types

1. Bare Fiber PLC Splitters: Passive optical components using silica waveguides to split optical signals from a single or dual input into multiple outputs. Available in 1xN and 2xN models with customizable split ratios. Features include ≤3.8 dB insertion loss, ≤0.2 dB polarization dependent loss, wide operating wavelength (1260–1650 nm), and temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) suitable for FTTx, LAN, WAN, and CATV networks .

2. Tray Splitters: Installed in 19” standard ODF or cabinets, designed to maintain fiber curvature radius and increase channel capacity. Can be pigtail type or adapter type, with SC/LC/FC connectors, and allow seamless upgrades of existing networks .

3. Cassette Splitters: Miniaturized splitters with complete protection for inner optical components and cables. Commonly used in PON networks, suitable for installation in distribution boxes or network cabinets. Connector types are customizable .

4. Rack Panel Splitters: Modular splitters for PON networks, designed for rack-mounted cabinets. Provide full protection for optical components and allow easy installation and maintenance .

5. Pigtail Kits: Standard or low-loss pigtail kits for fusion splicing, available in single-mode or multimode fibers. Typical specifications include maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB (standard) or 0.15 dB (low loss), return loss >50 dB for single-mode, >26 dB for multimode, and pull force of 5 N ± 0.5. Kits include 900-micron tight buffer LSZH coating and 250-micron coated fiber, individually packaged with part numbers and barcodes .

6. Integrated Splitter Modules (e.g., Corning CCH): Include SC APC connectorized splitters with long pigtail legs (e.g., 24-in input, 75-in output), suitable for routing outside housings. Compatible with LANscape® housings, fiber zone boxes, and wall-mount housings .
