1×3 90/5/5 SC/APC PLC Splitter in ABS Module, 3.0 mm × 3 m

BWNF-PLC-ABS-1×3-90-10-SCAPC-3M

Model: BWNF-PLC-ABS-1×3-90-10-SCAPC-3M

This 1×3 unbalanced PLC splitter has one input, one output labeled 90%, and two outputs labeled 5% each. The photographed build uses SC/APC connectors, G657A fiber, 3.0 mm pigtails, 3 m length, and a 100 × 80 × 10 mm ABS module. Use the physical 90/5/5 map—not the two-number catalog shorthand alone—when preparing the BOM, port schedule, optical budget, and test plan.

Evidence note: The optical values below come from the supplied final-test report for one photographed sample. They are sample-unit measurements, not guaranteed production limits. Request the approved model specification and order acceptance limits before release.

Technical reference notice: This page supports product identification and RFQ preparation only. It is not a network design approval, contractual specification, certification record, or performance guarantee. Use the project's approved drawings, product limits, link budget, test method, and responsible engineer's review for release.

Primary CTA — Request the model specification and quotation: Send the route or application, required port map, maximum accepted loss by path, connector, fiber, pigtail length, host enclosure, quantity, and required document pack. BWNFiber can return a configuration review and quotation after the specification is confirmed.

What does 90/10 mean on this 1×3 splitter?

For this exact build, 90/10 is catalog shorthand for a three-output distribution:

The product photographs and sample test report show the output labels as 90%, 5%, and 5%. That mapping must remain consistent across the approved drawing, product label, BOM, enclosure port schedule, field labels, and test record.

Do not interpret this product as an even 1×3 splitter. Do not treat it as a two-output 90/10 FBT coupler. If the design needs one 90% main path and one 10% tap, use a two-output product specified for that topology. If the design needs three equal outputs, use an even 1×3 model with its own loss limits.

Exact configuration recorded for the supplied sample

Sample-unit insertion loss and PDL

The supplied report records the following values at its stated center wavelengths. The physical port identity is part of the result; a single generic “1×3 insertion loss” value would hide the difference between the continuing and local paths.

These values describe the supplied sample as recorded. For network design and incoming inspection, use the approved maximum and minimum limits for the ordered model, wavelength, direction, connectors, environmental condition, and test reference planes. Do not copy the sample readings into a contractual budget as guaranteed maxima.

Where this configuration may fit

This configuration may be evaluated for a distributed optical tap node where one output continues downstream and two lower-power outputs serve local branches. The nominal ratio is only the starting point. Approval still requires:

1. the exact input, continuing output, and local-output identities;
2. maximum and minimum input-to-output loss for every physical path;
3. operating wavelength and transmission direction;
4. connector, splice, fiber, and downstream-splitter losses;
5. system power limits and design margin;
6. host-enclosure fit, pigtail routing, bend control, and service slack;
7. an acceptance plan that links the model, lot or serial, ports, method, and results.

For the route-level method, use the unbalanced splitter tap-chain design and acceptance guide. For the wider family shortlist, use the PLC splitter category and the cassette PLC splitter guide.

Non-fit conditions

Do not approve this model when:

• the required output map is three equal channels;
• the design requires only one main output and one tap output;
• the 90%, 5%, and 5% physical lead identities are not controlled;
• the host enclosure cannot accommodate the reported module and 3 m pigtails;
• the route budget relies on the nominal percentage instead of approved path-loss limits;
• the project requires a certification or compliance record that has not been supplied for this model;
• APC and UPC interfaces would be mixed;
• a sample reading is being used as a production guarantee without an approved specification.

How to specify the product for an RFQ

Send the following fields together. Avoid ordering only “1×3 90/10 splitter,” because that phrase does not control technology, three-output allocation, interfaces, construction, or acceptance.

Secondary CTA — Ask for a controlled document pack: Request the current model specification, dimensional drawing, port map, optical acceptance table, sample or lot test-record format, and applicable compliance documents before approving the BOM.
