1×5 75/25 PLC Splitter, SC/APC, 3.0 mm, 3 m

BWNF-PLC-ABS-1×5-75-25-SCAPC-3M

Model proposed for publication: BWNF-PLC-ABS-1×5-75-25-SCAPC-3M
Product status: TBC — Product Owner approval required

This 1×5 unequal PLC splitter configuration sends a nominal 75% share to one express path and divides the remaining 25% equally across four service taps, or 6.25% per tap. The supplied build records SC/APC connectors, G657A fiber, 3.0 mm pigtails, a 3 m pigtail length, and a 1260–1650 nm operating window.

Use this page to validate the exact port map and the supplied sample results before requesting this configuration. For other output counts, ratios, packages, or interfaces, start with the uneven PLC splitter family rather than treating this model as a universal substitute. If PLC is not yet the approved splitter technology, use the fiber optic splitter directory to route the requirement before selecting an exact model.

Quick Answer

On this 1×5 build, “75/25” does not mean two output ports. It means one output is assigned 75%, while four additional outputs share the remaining 25% at 6.25% each. Optical power and insertion loss are different quantities; use the approved per-port loss limits and the full link budget for design acceptance. In quote records, the configuration may be written as 1x5 75/6.25x4 PLC splitter; confirm the 1x5 SC/APC 75/25 PLC splitter interface and the 1x5 PLC splitter 3.0 mm 3 m construction as separate order fields. The table below is the controlling 75/25 PLC splitter port map for this offline draft.

Port map: identify the express path and four taps

Before splicing or connecting the assembly, match the physical tail labels to the approved drawing or report. Do not infer the 75% path from fiber position, coil direction, or connector order alone.

Supplied sample test results

The following values are transcribed from the supplied Final Test Report dated 2024-09-28. They describe the reported sample/build and are not a promise that every unit will have identical readings. Engineering must approve the model's guaranteed maximum/minimum limits and the public use of any serial-level report.

The supplied report also records return loss and directivity minimum values of 55 dB, tap-port uniformity of no more than 0.8 dB, and operating/storage temperature ranges of −40 °C to +85 °C. Publication as guaranteed model limits is TBC — engineering approval and a controlled datasheet are required. The report states that values were measured at center wavelength; instrument, method, uncertainty, and acceptance-revision details were not supplied.

Application and non-fit conditions

This ratio can be considered when a passive optical design needs one higher-power continuation path and four lower-power local taps. Acceptance depends on the complete design: transmitter/receiver classes, every splitter stage, connector and splice loss, fiber attenuation, operating wavelength, route length, repair margin, and required engineering reserve.

Do not use this product record as proof that the assembly is suitable for a named GPON, XGS-PON, CATV, LAN, OLT, ONT, or third-party platform. Compatibility and application approval are TBC — project data and engineering review required.

This exact page is not the right source when you need:

• an equal 1×4, 1×8, or other balanced split;
• a different high-power ratio;
• a blockless, bare-fiber, LGX, or rack-mounted package;
• a connector or polish other than the recorded SC/APC interface;
• a different pigtail diameter or length;
• a compliance certificate or a guaranteed model drawing not included in the approved document pack.

Browse the PLC splitter range for family-level selection, then return to the exact model record for order verification.

How to validate this model before ordering

1. Confirm that BWNF-PLC-ABS-1x5-75-25-SCAPC-3M is the approved commercial model for the supplied configuration.
2. Attach the network loss budget and state which path must remain the 75% continuation path.
3. Confirm 1×5 and the full ratio string: 75/6.25×4.
4. Confirm SC/APC on all six ends, G657A fiber wording, 3.0 mm pigtails, and 3 m length.
5. Confirm the host enclosure, available routing space, bend control, and required module dimensions/tolerances.
6. Define guaranteed IL, PDL, return-loss, directivity, and uniformity limits for the purchase order.
7. Specify required documents: controlled datasheet, drawing, per-unit or batch test report, packing list, and any verified compliance record.
8. Approve the tail-label convention before production and check it at incoming inspection.

What to send for an RFQ

Use the exact model in the subject line and provide:

• quantity and required delivery location/date;
• network type and operating wavelengths;
• approved loss budget for the express and tap paths;
• 1×5 and 75/6.25×4 port map;
• SC/APC, fiber grade, pigtail diameter, and length;
• host box/closure and available module/routing space;
• required guaranteed optical limits;
• tail-label and packaging/label requirements;
• document and inspection requirements;
• sample, pilot, or batch-approval requirement.

Primary CTA: Request an exact-model review and quotation. Include the proposed SKU, 75/6.25×4 ratio, quantity, host enclosure, and path-loss budget.
Secondary CTA: Review the uneven PLC family page if the ratio, output count, package, or interface is not fixed.
