BWN-PLC-MMST-1X2-SC-APC-0.9-U8020
1×2 80/20 Unbalanced Mini PLC Splitter, 0.9 mm SC/APC
BWN-PLC-MMST-1X2-SC-APC-0.9-U8020 is a single-mode 1×2 unbalanced PLC splitter with one input and two labeled outputs. The inspected build uses an 80/20 power ratio, SC/APC connectors, G657A1 0.9 mm fiber leads and a 60 × 7 × 4 mm steel-tube package. Use the port-specific optical limits—not a balanced 50/50 1×2 table—when reviewing the link budget.

Port map and model limits
| Interface | Intended identification | Recorded power ratio | Maximum IL on inspected sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | PLC input | 100% entering device | — |
| Output marked 80% | Higher-power output | 80% nominal ratio | 1.90 dB |
| Output marked 20% | Lower-power output | 20% nominal ratio | 8.80 dB |
The ratio describes the intended distribution between the two outputs; it is not an insertion-loss value. Final acceptance should use the approved port-specific IL limits and the report matched to the delivered serial or batch.
Optical limits recorded for the inspected build
| Parameter | 80% output | 20% output | Approval note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insertion loss, maximum | 1.90 dB | 8.80 dB | Model-wide applicability TBC |
| PDL, maximum | 0.20 dB | 0.20 dB | Test conditions TBC |
| Return loss | ≥55 dB | ≥55 dB | Sheet shows pass/fail results |
| Directivity | >55 dB | >55 dB | Qualification basis TBC |
Do not substitute the balanced 1×2 value published on a general category or guide page. An 80/20 device has different loss limits on its two outputs.
Sample inspection record
The following values were transcribed from the supplied inspection-sheet photograph for serial 25120100008, inspected on 2025-12-01. They describe that sample and do not guarantee another unit or batch.
Technical notice: The specifications and measurements shown from the supplied inspection record are a sourcing reference only, not a guarantee for unreviewed units, and are subject to the written order specification and approval record.
| Output | IL at 1310 nm | IL at 1490 nm | IL at 1550 nm | PDL at 1310 nm | PDL at 1490 nm | PDL at 1550 nm | RL result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80% | 1.67 dB | 1.76 dB | 1.40 dB | 0.05 dB | 0.06 dB | 0.04 dB | Pass at ≥55 dB |

Before purchase approval, request the current model datasheet and confirm whether BWNFiber will provide a per-unit or per-batch test record for the quoted order.
Installation and application conditions
The steel-tube format is intended for a host enclosure that provides mechanical protection, fiber routing and environmental sealing. Before approving the part, confirm:
- The tray or enclosure has clearance for the 60 × 7 × 4 mm tube, fiber exits and connector routing.
- The planned bend control and strain relief suit 0.9 mm leads.
- Every mating adapter and cord uses SC/APC; do not directly mate APC and UPC endfaces.
- The 80% and 20% outputs are mapped to the intended branches and preserved in the splice/port record.
- The complete route budget uses the correct output’s maximum IL plus fiber, connectors, splices and engineering margin.
- The project wavelength plan, environmental qualification and acceptance method are approved for the network.
GPON, XGS-PON, CATV, monitoring and cascade suitability are project-level decisions. They are not established by the ratio or wavelength field alone.
How to select the correct configuration
Choose this model only when the approved design requires all of the following: a 1×2 unequal 80/20 division, a mini steel-tube package, G657A1 0.9 mm leads of the approved length, and SC/APC on the required interfaces. If any field changes—ratio, connector polish, fiber, length, package or test limit—request a new model code or written configuration rather than assuming interchangeability.
For broader options, use the blockless mini PLC splitter category. For general 1×2 ratio selection, read the 1×2 fiber optic splitter guide. Buyers who need to compare product families can browse fiber optic splitter products; questions about device technology belong in the PLC vs FBT splitter comparison. The exact-model page should not replace those owners.

1×2 80/20 Unbalanced Mini PLC Splitter, 0.9 mm SC/APC FAQ
What does 80/20 mean on this 1×2 splitter?
It identifies two unequal outputs: one nominally assigned 80% of the divided power and the other 20%. It does not mean 1.80 dB and 8.20 dB loss. Use the approved maximum IL for each labeled output.
Can I use the balanced 1×2 insertion-loss value for both outputs?
No. A balanced 50/50 1×2 table does not describe this unequal model. The inspected sheet records separate maximum IL limits of 1.90 dB for the 80% output and 8.80 dB for the 20% output, pending model-owner approval.
Are the measured values guaranteed for every unit?
No. The displayed measurements belong to serial 25120100008. Request the applicable acceptance limits and a report matched to the quoted unit or batch.
How do I identify the higher-power output?
The supplied sample photograph shows output leads marked 80% and 20%. Confirm the production label and drawing for the order; do not rely on connector position alone.
Is this interchangeable with a 50/50 PLC splitter or an FBT coupler?
Not by default. Ratio, optical limits, package, fiber, connectors and approved application must all match. Treat a change in technology or ratio as a separate configuration review.
Does this model comply with GR-1209 and GR-1221?
Can it be used in a splice tray or fiber access terminal?
The compact steel-tube format may fit those hosts, but the enclosure must provide sufficient clearance, bend control, strain relief and environmental protection. Approve the host layout before ordering.
What should I include in the quotation request?
Include the model, quantity, ratio/port assignment, SC/APC interfaces, fiber and lead details, host enclosure, optical acceptance limits, required documents, destination and schedule.
What should be matched before purchase-order release?
Match the quotation, approved drawing, product label, 80%/20% port assignment, optical acceptance limits and required report scope. Resolve any difference in writing before production.
What if I need a different connector, lead length or jacket?
Treat the change as a separate configuration until BWNFiber confirms the orderable model, drawing and optical limits. Do not assume that a different physical build retains this SKU or the same test limits.
