Quick answer
This is an exact-SKU record for a 1×2 85/15, 250 µm, unterminated PLC splitter—not a generic 1×2 selection guide. The supplied model sheet states a 40 × 4 × 4 mm package and separate insertion-loss limits for the nominal 85% and 15% outputs. Approval still requires the controlled port map, host-tray fit and complete route budget.
Primary action: Request the current model datasheet, dimensional/port-map drawing and model-matched test-record format.
Secondary action: Send the host-tray drawing and route budget for a configuration-gap review.

Sample test record
The supplied photo records serial 25120100002, inspected on 2025-12-14. The values below describe that sample only; they are not a promise that every production unit will have identical measurements.
| Output | IL at 1310 nm | IL at 1490 nm | IL at 1550 nm | PDL at 1310 / 1490 / 1550 nm | RL result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal 85% | 1.17 dB | 1.23 dB | 1.29 dB | 0.05 / 0.02 / 0.05 dB | Pass >55 dB |
| Nominal 15% | 9.93 dB | 9.88 dB | 9.99 dB | 0.02 / 0.06 / 0.08 dB | Pass >55 dB |
Before release, ask for the agreed production or batch test record and confirm the measurement method, reference method, instrument, calibration status, wavelengths and pass/fail limits.
Application and compatibility conditions
This compact, unterminated build can be considered for a protected splice tray, closure or custom module when all of the following are confirmed:
- The approved drawing identifies the input, nominal 85% output and nominal 15% output on the physical leads.
- The 40 × 4 × 4 mm package, fiber exits, service slack and splice protectors fit the host tray without pinching, crushing or crossing a moving cover or hinge.
- The enclosure provides the mechanical and environmental protection that the bare 250 µm leads and compact device require.
- Every route passes the project’s maximum-loss and minimum-loss/receiver-input checks using model- and condition-matched values.
- The network owner or qualified designer approves the topology, equipment limits, wavelengths, direction and acceptance method.
An 85/15 label does not by itself approve a GPON, XGS-PON or other route. It describes nominal power distribution, while the finished device’s insertion-loss limits and the complete route budget control compatibility.

1×2 85/15 Unbalanced Bare-Fiber PLC Splitter, 250 µm, Unterminated FAQ
What does 85/15 mean on this model?
It identifies nominal power distribution between two outputs. Use the model’s input-to-output insertion-loss limits—not a calculation from 85% and 15% alone—for route and acceptance work.
Which lead is the 85% output?
Use the approved model drawing and the physical label. Lead position, color or a similar product photo is not sufficient evidence. The controlled port-map drawing for this SKU is still required.
Does this model include connectors?
No. The supplied sheet lists connector type as N/A, and the sample photo shows unterminated 250 µm leads. Define the required splice and protection method in the host assembly.
Can this splitter be installed directly outdoors?
Not as an unprotected bare assembly. The approved tray, closure or module must provide the environmental protection, fixation, bend control and transition protection required by the project.
Are the photographed measurements guaranteed for every unit?
No. They belong to serial 25120100002, inspected on 2025-12-14. Production acceptance must use the agreed limits and the required unit, lot or batch record.
Is this model automatically compatible with GPON or XGS-PON?
No. Compatibility depends on the complete route, equipment optical limits, wavelengths, direction, every passive element, the model’s approved loss data and the project acceptance rules.
