Model: BWN-PLC-MMST-1×16-NA-0.9mm
Status: TBC — model-to-factory-P/N mapping and catalog limits require approval.

This 1×16 PLC splitter uses a compact steel-tube package with one unterminated input lead and sixteen color-coded unterminated output leads. The photographed sample is marked for 0.9 mm fiber, 2 m length and no connectors. It is intended for integration inside a protected splice tray, distribution box or closure after the host fit, routing and optical budget are approved.

Primary action: Request the current model datasheet, dimensional drawing and optical acceptance limits.
Secondary action: Send the host-tray drawing or BOM for configuration review.

Quick Product Answer

BWN-PLC-MMST-1×16-NA-0.9mm is a steel-tube, 1×16 equal PLC splitter supplied without connectors. The photographed unit has 0.9 mm, 2 m leads and a serial-specific 1310/1550 nm test report. Before ordering, confirm the controlled datasheet, exact G.657 fiber subtype, package drawing, host-tray clearance and project loss limits.

What the No-Connector Configuration Changes

This model does not ship with SC, LC or FC connectors. The input and output leads must be fusion-spliced or terminated as defined by the project work package. The installer is responsible for protecting splices, maintaining approved bend control, identifying all sixteen outputs and verifying the complete installed path. Do not apply connector-polish claims to the unterminated assembly itself.

Serial-Specific Optical Evidence

The supplied photo shows a final test report for serial PLC1*162024049725. The table below is a transcription of that pictured report and is sample evidence for that serial only. It is not the catalog acceptance specification for every production unit.

The pictured report also lists 0.40 dB uniformity at 1310 nm, 0.37 dB at 1550 nm, 50 dB minimum return loss and 55 dB minimum directivity. TBC: Optical QA must confirm the report, method, instrument/calibration, reference conditions and approved production acceptance limits before these values are exposed as model claims.

Integration and Compatibility Conditions

  • Use the steel-tube module only inside a host tray, box or closure that provides fixation, bend control, strain management and environmental protection.
  • Confirm 60 × 12 × 4 mm body clearance against the approved dimensional drawing, including fiber exits and cover clearance.
  • Confirm splice-protector capacity, fiber routing and service-loop space for one input and sixteen outputs.
  • Confirm the exact G.657 subtype and minimum bend radius from the approved fiber specification.
  • Validate every planned PON path against the project loss budget. A 1×16 split does not by itself prove GPON or XGS-PON compatibility.
  • Treat the steel tube as an internal component, not as a standalone outdoor/IP-rated enclosure.

For family-level integration criteria, review the blockless mini PLC splitter options. Use the GPON splitter selection guide for topology and interface decisions and the splitter loss and link-budget guide for path calculations.

Choose This Model When

  • The approved design calls for one input and sixteen equal outputs.
  • The host enclosure accepts a 60 × 12 × 4 mm steel-tube module and nineteen routed leads.
  • Fusion splicing or field termination is part of the installation plan.
  • A connectorized cassette, LGX module or rack panel is not required.

Do not choose this model when the project requires factory-installed connectors, plug-and-play replacement, a standalone weatherproof package or a different split ratio.

Testing, Inspection and Release

Before order release, agree on the catalog acceptance limits and the report format for insertion loss, uniformity, PDL, return loss and directivity. On receipt, verify the model/serial, lead count and identification, steel-tube condition, lead length, connector state, report-to-serial match and any project-specific optical acceptance criteria. A photographed sample report does not replace an approved purchase specification.

FAQ

1×16 Blockless Mini PLC Splitter, 0.9 mm, 2 m, No Connector FAQ

Is this a bare-fiber PLC splitter?

Not under the current BWNFiber taxonomy. The photographed unit has a steel-tube package and 0.9 mm leads, so it should be classified as a blockless mini PLC splitter. Bare fiber should remain with the separate no-steel-tube form factor unless Product Management changes the taxonomy.

Does this model include connectors?

No connectors are visible, and the pictured marking uses NA. Confirm the approved order record before release. The installation plan must define fusion splicing or field termination and protection for every lead.

Can the pictured IL/PDL table be used as the guaranteed specification?

No. It is a serial-specific test record. Use an approved datasheet or purchase specification for production acceptance limits, then compare each shipped report with those limits.

Will it fit any 1×16 splice tray?

No. Confirm the body drawing, fiber-exit direction, bend control, service-loop space, splice-protector capacity and cover clearance against the actual host tray or enclosure.

Is it automatically compatible with GPON or XGS-PON?

No. A passive 1×16 configuration may be used in a compatible PON design, but the network engineer must approve wavelengths, total path loss, cascade arrangement, equipment class and operating margin.

Which documents should be approved before a bulk order?

Approve the exact model/part-number mapping, datasheet, dimensional drawing, port identification, purchase specification, test-report format, label proof and packaging requirements.
