1×9 70/30 Unbalanced PLC Splitter, SC/APC, ABS Cassette, 3 m

BWNF-PLC-ABS-1×9-70-30-SCAPC-3M

This exact configuration is a single-mode 1×9 unequal PLC splitter in a black ABS cassette. One output is labeled as the nominal 70% cascade path; the other eight outputs are labeled as nominal 3.75% service taps. The photographed sample uses SC/APC connectors on 3.0 mm, 3 m pigtails.

30-second product summary

Use this page only for the photographed ABS-cassette build: 1 input, 1 nominal 70% cascade output and 8 nominal 3.75% tap outputs, with SC/APC connectors on 3.0 mm, 3 m pigtails. Do not substitute the existing blockless 900 µm / 1.5 m 1×9 model or an equal-split 1×8 device.

Buyer summary

The 70/30 label does not mean two physical outputs. On this 1×9 build, the high-power output receives a nominal 70% share and eight local tap outputs share the remaining nominal 30%, or 3.75% each. The supplied report records IL and PDL for one sample unit at 1310 and 1550 nm. Those readings are serial-specific evidence, not production guarantees. Before quotation or deployment, approve the SKU-to-factory-P/N mapping, housing drawing, maximum acceptance limits, test method, port labels and the link budget for every cascade and subscriber path.

Port map: what 70/30 means on this 1×9 splitter

The percentages describe the nominal power division. They are not insertion-loss values and do not replace the maximum model limits used in the optical budget.

Sample-unit IL and PDL record

Source: photographed report for sample S/N 2024095450, dated 2024-09-28. The report says measurements were made at the center wavelength. The full instrument, reference method, calibration, uncertainty, environmental conditions and release limits were not supplied.

Technical evidence note: These values describe one supplied sample. Purchase specifications and link budgets must use approved maximum/minimum limits for the ordered revision, not this table alone. Request the current datasheet, drawing, port map and production test-record format before release.

ABS cassette or blockless mini: select the correct BWNFiber record

For package-family selection, see the cassette PLC splitter category. For the existing compact alternative, review the blockless 1×9 70:30 PLC splitter.

Application conditions and non-fit cases

This configuration can be evaluated for a cascaded optical-distribution design that requires one higher-power continuation path and eight local taps. Approval still depends on the OLT/ONT or other optical equipment limits, every passive component on each path, the host enclosure, connector interfaces and the project acceptance specification.

Do not use this page as approval for:

• an equal-split 1×8 or 1×9 requirement;
• a blockless, bare-fiber or LGX/insertion package;
• UPC mating interfaces;
• outdoor exposure without an approved host enclosure;
• a GPON/XGS-PON coexistence design without a complete path and wavelength review; or
• guaranteed optical limits derived only from the photographed sample.

For the wider decision process, use the GPON splitter selection and link-budget guide and the PLC splitter product family. Confirm APC versus UPC handling against the approved connector plan; do not mate unlike polish types directly.

How to approve the correct configuration

1. Freeze the topology and identify the input, cascade path and all eight tap destinations.
2. Calculate the shortest and longest path at every required wavelength using approved maximum component limits.
3. Confirm the host enclosure, cassette mounting area, pigtail exit, service slack, bend control and connector access.
4. Match the public SKU, factory P/N, drawing revision, port labels and test-record template.
5. Define the production acceptance limits, sampling level and exception disposition.
6. Release the quotation or purchase order only after technical and commercial revisions agree.

Testing and acceptance documents

Request the records needed by the project rather than assuming a generic family statement applies:

• current exact-model datasheet;
• dimensional drawing and pigtail-exit detail;
• controlled port map and label sequence;
• maximum/minimum optical acceptance limits at the project wavelengths;
• production test-record format and serial/lot traceability;
• connector end-face and cleaning requirement;
• packaging and label specification; and
• model-specific compliance evidence, if the project requires it.

RFQ input checklist

Send the following in one controlled request:

• proposed public SKU or factory P/N;
• required nominal ratio and expanded port map (70% + 8 × 3.75%);
• topology and the role of the cascade output;
• shortest/longest path budgets and equipment limits;
• ABS-cassette space, mounting method and pigtail-exit constraints;
• G657 subtype required, pigtail diameter and input/output lengths;
• SC/APC interface quantity and port-label convention;
• quantity, destination and required schedule;
• required datasheet, drawing, sample and test/compliance records; and
• acceptance limits, sampling rule and failure disposition.
