|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Optical input | 100% | — | — | — |
| 80% output | Higher-power output | 80% | 1.60 dB | 0.20 dB | >55 dB / >55 dB |
| 20% output | Lower-power output | 20% | 8.50 dB | 0.20 dB | >55 dB / >55 dB |
* Values transcribed from the supplied model/unit record. Engineering/QA must approve the controlled specification before publication or contractual use.
Do not identify the 80% and 20% outputs by fiber position, color or assumed routing. Use the approved port label and the report associated with the order. Reversing the two outputs can invalidate the local and downstream path budgets.
Sample-unit measurement record
The supplied first-party image shows one physical unit together with a serial-specific data/test sheet. The following values describe that photographed unit; they are not a guarantee for every production unit.
| Port | IL @ 1310 nm | IL @ 1490 nm | IL @ 1550 nm | PDL @ 1310 nm | PDL @ 1490 nm | PDL @ 1550 nm | RL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80% output | 1.26 dB | 1.39 dB | 1.29 dB | 0.07 dB | 0.01 dB | 0.02 dB | Pass >55 dB |
| 20% output | 8.22 dB | 8.23 dB | 8.25 dB | 0.06 dB | 0.02 dB | 0.08 dB | Pass >55 dB |
For purchasing or acceptance, use the approved maximum limits and the report tied to the ordered unit or batch. Do not budget from a sample's measured minimums.
Application and compatibility conditions
This configuration can be evaluated for a protected splice-tray or closure design where one route needs the higher-power output and another route uses the lower-power tap. Approval depends on the complete design, including:
- the host's available 40×4×4 mm body space and fixation method;
- routing and protection for 250 µm fibers and stored service slack;
- an unambiguous input/80%/20% label plan;
- the maximum allowable loss on both routes, including connectors, splices, fiber, other passive components and engineering margin;
- the required wavelength plan and active-equipment limits; and
- the report, drawing and acceptance criteria specified in the purchase order.
The 1260–1650 nm operating range is a device attribute. It does not by itself prove end-to-end compatibility with a particular OLT, ONT, monitoring receiver, PON class or network topology.
How to select and release this model
- Freeze the ratio and port roles. Confirm that the design requires an 80% higher-power path and a 20% lower-power path—not a 50/50 1×2 splitter.
- Close both path budgets. Use 1.60 dB for the 80% path and 8.50 dB for the 20% path as the provisional model maximums, pending the approved controlled datasheet.
- Confirm the host. Provide the tray or closure drawing, usable internal dimensions, fixation method, fiber route and splice-protector locations.
- Confirm lead construction and length. This SKU is documented with 250 µm G.657A1 leads and at least 1.0 m length. Confirm whether the order needs separate input/output lengths.
- Define port identification. State the labels and route assignment for input, 80% output and 20% output.
- Define evidence and acceptance. State whether the order requires a controlled datasheet, drawing, serial or batch report, label photo, packaging record or other release document.
Differences from related products
| Alternative | Key difference | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| Equal 1×2 PLC splitter | Similar power on both outputs; different loss profile | Both branches require an equal split |
| Connectorized 1×2 splitter | Factory-fitted connector/interface | The host uses adapters and patching rather than direct splicing |
| 900 µm or jacketed-lead splitter | More secondary lead protection | The host and handling process require protected pigtails |
| Other unequal ratios | Different through/tap allocation and loss limits | The approved topology requires another ratio |
| FBT 1×2 coupler | Different technology and potentially different wavelength/ratio behavior | The approved design specifically calls for an FBT device |
These are selection boundaries, not proof that one technology or package is universally better.
Use cases and non-fit conditions
Potential fit, subject to engineering approval:
- a protected tray or closure with direct fusion-splice interfaces;
- an unequal branch where both route budgets have been calculated using the exact port limits;
- a build that can safely route and protect 250 µm leads; and
- an order that requires model-level optical evidence rather than generic family values.
Do not select this SKU when:
- an equal 50/50 split is required;
- factory connectors or a plug-in module are required;
- the host cannot protect 250 µm leads or secure the compact body;
- the 20% path cannot tolerate the specified maximum insertion loss;
- the package-family requirement excludes the approved construction; or
- the project expects standards/certification evidence that has not been confirmed for this model.
Evidence and quality-control requirements
The supplied image demonstrates that one unit was recorded at 1310, 1490 and 1550 nm for IL and PDL, with RL recorded as passing above 55 dB. Before a purchase order is released, define the evidence required for the actual order. Recommended acceptance fields are:
- model and revision;
- serial or batch identifier;
- input/80%/20% port mapping;
- approved maximum IL and PDL at the required wavelengths;
- RL/directivity acceptance limits;
- fiber type, coating diameter and lead lengths;
- body dimensions and package-family classification;
- connector status;
- test method/equipment/conditions, if contractually required; and
- disposition and retest record for any exception.
BWNFiber should not publish a universal testing or certification claim for this SKU until QA approves the supporting process records.

1×2 80/20 PLC Splitter with 250 µm Leads and No Connectors FAQ
What does 80/20 mean on this splitter?
It identifies the intended unequal optical-power distribution between the two outputs: one target 80% path and one target 20% path. For link budgeting, use the approved maximum insertion loss for each output rather than converting the percentages alone.
Is this the same as a 50/50 1×2 PLC splitter?
No. A 50/50 splitter is designed for approximately equal output paths. This model has separate maximum loss values for the 80% and 20% outputs, so it must be budgeted and labeled as an unequal splitter.
Does this SKU include connectors?
No. The supplied record identifies the connector field as N/A. The 250 µm leads require an approved splicing and protection plan in the host enclosure.
Can the 80% and 20% outputs be swapped in the field?
Do not assume they can. Match the approved port labels and the order/test record. Reversing the route assignment changes the loss applied to each path and can cause a budget failure.
Are the sample-unit measurements guaranteed for every unit?
No. They are measurements visible for one photographed unit. Use the approved model maximums and the report tied to the actual order or batch for acceptance.
Is this a bare-fiber or blockless-mini splitter?
The source package currently uses conflicting terminology. The final BWNFiber category and package description must be confirmed by the Product Owner before publication. The verified lead construction is 250 µm bare coated fiber; that does not by itself settle the body/package family.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the model, quantity, host drawing, path budgets, port labels, lead-length requirements, required documents, destination and target schedule. State any compliance or acceptance requirement explicitly for written confirmation.
