Omron has extended its range of compact bi-directional PLC splitter modules for passive optical networks with a new 1x64 version.

The P1C planar waveguide devices are for FTTx passive optical networks, DWDM and CWDM systems and optical cable TV.

Each device in the range is a packaged optical waveguide chip based on patented plasma chemical vapour deposition (P-CVD) technology.

According to the supplier, the combination of PLC structure and P-CVD process technology provides more stable optical characteristics.

The splitter modules exhibit low insertion loss, low polarisation dependent loss and high port uniformity. The splitters are tested to Telcordia GR1209 and GR1221.
