1×2 Singlemode FBT Splitter, 15/85, SC/APC, 0.9 mm, 1 m

FBT-1×2-SM-0.9-SCAPC-1585-1M

This proposed product record covers one specific build: a 1×2 singlemode fused biconical taper (FBT) splitter with a nominal 15/85 ratio, SC/APC terminations, 0.9 mm leads and a labeled 1 m length. The supplied unit report records ratio and insertion-loss results at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Confirm the controlled model code, port assignment and current acceptance specification before ordering.

Primary action: Request a current configuration and document review.

Product at a Glance

What the Supplied Unit Report Shows

The photographed report is dated April 10, 2023 and identifies a 1x2 FBT Splitter with part number 1*2-0.9-1M-SC/APC. The table below is a transcription of that report. It describes the photographed unit/report; it is not a substitute for current model acceptance limits.

The report also records directivity of at least 55 dB.

Measurement boundary: TBC — quality review must confirm the test direction, equipment and calibration status, measurement uncertainty, connector-loss treatment, applicable acceptance limits and whether the photographed report is approved for public download.

Understand the 15/85 Configuration

A 15/85 label identifies the nominal power-share relationship between the two output paths. It does not, by itself, identify which physical lead is the 15% path or the 85% path, and it does not replace path-specific insertion-loss limits. The controlled drawing or port map should identify input, Port 1 and Port 2, including the red/blue lead assignment, before installation or bulk ordering.

Do not apply a generic 1×2 PLC loss table to this FBT build. For family-level ratio, window and package selection, use the FBT splitter category. For a technology comparison, use the PLC vs FBT splitter guide.

Fit and Non-Fit Conditions

This exact build may be shortlisted when the approved design requires all of the following:

• one input and two output paths;
• a nominal 15/85 unequal split;
• singlemode fiber;
• SC/APC terminations;
• 0.9 mm leads;
• a labeled 1 m length; and
• verification at 1310 nm and 1550 nm against project-specific limits.

Do not approve this SKU from the ratio alone. Use another model or request engineering review when the project needs a different port count, ratio, connector/polish, fiber grade, lead diameter, length, package, operating window, temperature range or host-enclosure fit. A PLC splitter may be the more appropriate route for a uniform multi-output architecture; that decision belongs to the approved network design and link budget.

What Must Be Confirmed Before Approval

1. Model identity: confirm that the proposed SKU, the product-label code and the report part number refer to the same controlled configuration.
2. Port assignment: identify input, 15% path and 85% path, including color/label mapping.
3. Optical specification: provide current maximum/minimum limits by path and wavelength; keep specification limits separate from observed sample values.
4. Fiber and construction: confirm fiber grade, buffer construction, steel-tube dimensions, lead length for each leg and minimum routing requirements.
5. Connector scope: confirm connector polish, quantity, end-face acceptance and whether connector loss is included in each reported limit/result.
6. Environment and host: confirm temperature limits, mounting/protection and fit inside the intended tray, box or closure.
7. Documents: approve the datasheet, drawing, current sample report format and any applicable compliance evidence.
