Network splitter PLANET EPL-SPT-8 Width 100 mm Depth 80 mm Height 10 mm

The PLANET EPL-SPT-8 is a single-mode PLC network splitter that evenly divides one optical input into eight outputs. Designed for compact network installations, it supports a wide operating wavelength range and a broad temperature tolerance, making it suitable for indoor cabling and optical distribution panels. Dimensions: 100 mm (W) x 80 mm (D) x 10 mm (H).

Advantages

The EPL-SPT-8 provides uniform splitting across all outputs with a specified split ratio of 1 x 8 and low maximum insertion loss. Its single-mode PLC design ensures consistent performance across the 1260–1650 nm wavelength range. The small form factor allows easy integration into existing network enclosures or fiber distribution frames, while the wide operating temperature range supports deployment in varied indoor environments.

Suitable for

• FTTx passive optical networks
• Optical distribution frames and patch panels
• Passive splitting in indoor telecom and datacom installations

How to use

Install the EPL-SPT-8 inside an appropriate enclosure or mounting panel. Connect the single optical input to the network feed and route the eight output fibers to their respective receivers or patch points. Ensure proper fiber handling to avoid microbends and maintain connector cleanliness to minimise insertion loss. Follow standard fibre installation practices and use compatible single-mode connectors and pigtails.

Recommendations

Verify optical power budget and loss margins before commissioning to ensure the 1 x 8 split meets link requirements. Use the splitter in temperature-controlled indoor environments when possible and store spare units in a dry, dust-free location.
