Blockless Mini PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitters are optical splitters used in passive optical networks (PONs) to split a single optical signal into multiple output signals without requiring any power input. The Blockless Mini PLC splitters are designed to provide high reliability, stability, and scalability in a compact form factor. They use a planar waveguide circuit to distribute the optical signal evenly across the output ports, ensuring minimal signal loss and uniform power splitting. The “blockless” design of these splitters means that they do not require a separate housing or additional mounting hardware, making them easy to install and maintain. These splitters are commonly used in FTTx (fiber-to-the-x) applications such as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-business (FTTB), and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC).
