MPO PLC Splitter
4×1×2 PLC Splitter with MPO-12 and 8 SC/APC Connectors
This hybrid fiber assembly combines a 4×1×2 PLC splitter configuration with one MPO-12 connector and eight SC/APC connectors on 0.9 mm fiber. Before ordering, confirm the MPO gender and key orientation, fiber-to-port map, input and output lengths, and required factory test wavelengths.
4×1×2 PLC Splitter Configuration
This assembly is specified for projects that require a 4×1×2 PLC splitter layout with one MPO-12 connection and eight SC/APC terminations. Final suitability depends on the approved port map, connector orientation, wavelength plan, link budget, cable lengths, and installation environment.

| Fiber type | Confirm against the required operating wavelength and application |
| Input and output lengths | Specify for the project drawing and quotation |
| Port identification | Confirm the MPO fiber-to-SC/APC mapping on the approved drawing |
Optical Performance and Factory Test Data
Insertion loss should be evaluated for each complete connectorized optical path, not by adding unrelated component values from a generic table. Request the test conditions and acceptance limits before sample approval.
| Parameter | Required Confirmation |
|---|---|
| Operating wavelength | State the project wavelength range |
| Maximum insertion loss | Specify and verify per complete optical path |
| Uniformity and PDL | Confirm limits for the selected PLC configuration |
| Return loss and directivity | Confirm connector type, test method, and acceptance limit |
| Environmental range | Confirm operating temperature, storage temperature, and humidity |
| Test documentation | Define required wavelengths, channel report format, and labeling |
How to Specify This MPO-12 to SC/APC PLC Assembly
- MPO gender, key orientation, pinning, and polishing type
- Approved MPO fiber-to-SC/APC port map
- Fiber type, 0.9 mm buffer material, and color requirements
- Input length, output length, fan-out length, and labeling
- Operating wavelengths and maximum loss per complete path
- Quantity, sample requirement, packaging, and documentation
Ordering note: Do not approve production from connector counts alone. Use a configuration drawing and agreed optical test limits to verify polarity, channel mapping, and path performance.

FAQ
FAQ About This 4×1×2 MPO PLC Splitter
What does the 4×1×2 PLC configuration mean?
It identifies four 1×2 PLC splitting functions within the assembly. Confirm the exact circuit arrangement and fiber mapping on the approved product drawing before ordering.
How are the MPO-12 fibers mapped to the eight SC/APC connectors?
The mapping is configuration-dependent. Request a numbered port map and do not assume that the MPO fibers follow a sequential input-to-output assignment.
Is the MPO-12 connector male or female?
Gender, key orientation, pinning, and polishing type must be specified for the mating interface in your project. Include these details in the BOM or request a compatibility review.
What insertion-loss value should buyers use?
Use the maximum loss for each complete connectorized path under the agreed test wavelengths. A generic PLC or connector value alone does not represent the assembled product.
Which items can be reviewed for customization?
BWNFiber can review cable lengths, fiber type, buffer color, connector orientation, port labels, packaging, and test-document requirements against the project drawing and production feasibility.
What information is required for a quotation?
Send the quantity, MPO gender and key orientation, port map, fiber type, input and output lengths, operating wavelengths, loss requirement, labeling, and required test reports.
Should a sample be approved before volume production?
For a custom port map or connector orientation, sample approval with the agreed drawing and optical test scope helps reduce polarity and configuration risk before batch production.
