This custom assembly combines MPO-format and LC interfaces with a PLC splitter circuit on OM3 fiber. Use it when the optical design requires power division; it is not a one-to-one MPO-to-LC breakout or harness cable. The current record lists a 1×2 circuit and 0.9 mm buffering. The approved drawing must confirm circuit direction and split ratio, connector count, LC simplex or duplex style and polish, MPO gender, keying, pinning, active channels, cable lengths, operating wavelengths, and complete-path loss limits.
Model: BWN-MMST-PLC-1LC-2FMPO-OM3-0.9mm
Configuration record: The current page lists OM3 fiber, 0.9 mm buffering, and a 1×2 PLC circuit.
The model code includes “1LC-2FMPO.” Confirm the final connector count, LC style and polish, MPO gender, keying, pinning, active fiber positions, port map, cable lengths, operating wavelengths, and complete-path optical limits on the approved drawing before quotation or production.
Use this page when the BOM calls for a connectorized PLC device that divides optical power between LC and MPO-format interfaces over OM3 fiber. It is not a standard one-to-one breakout or harness cable.
| Configuration Item | Current Product Record | Required Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Model | BWN-MMST-PLC-1LC-2FMPO-OM3-0.9mm | Confirm the model revision on the quotation and drawing |
| Fiber record | OM3 | Confirm the project fiber requirement and test wavelength |
| Buffer record | 0.9 mm | Confirm buffer construction, material, color, and environmental requirement |
| Optical circuit | The current page lists a 1×2 PLC circuit | Approve input/output direction, split ratio, and complete port map |
| LC interface | The model code includes 1LC | Confirm connector quantity, simplex or duplex style, polish, function, and label |
| MPO interface | The model code includes 2FMPO | Confirm connector quantity, MPO or MTP-branded requirement, gender, key orientation, pinning, polish, populated positions, and active positions |
| Cable lengths | Configuration-dependent | Specify each leg length and tolerance |
| Optical limits | Not confirmed for the finished OM3 assembly | Define wavelength-specific, complete-path acceptance limits |
| Decision Point | This PLC Splitter Assembly | MPO-to-LC Breakout or Harness |
|---|---|---|
| Optical function | Divides optical power through a defined PLC circuit | Routes individual fibers without optical power splitting |
| Primary design data | Split ratio, circuit direction, active channels, port map, wavelength, and complete-path loss | Fiber count, polarity, one-to-one mapping, and cable length |
| Acceptance method | Test every approved active optical path | Verify continuity, polarity, and connector performance |
Selection note: Do not use “splitter” and “breakout cable” interchangeably. If the project only requires MPO fan-out or one-to-one routing, specify an MPO breakout assembly instead of a PLC splitter.
Test the complete connectorized assembly rather than applying generic connector or bare-PLC values. The approved drawing and purchase specification should define the following items.
| Parameter | Required Confirmation |
|---|---|
| Optical topology | Confirm 1×2 direction, split ratio, input, outputs, and every active fiber position |
| Operating wavelength | State the OM3 application wavelength or wavelength range and test condition |
| Insertion loss | Specify the maximum loss for each complete active LC-to-MPO path |
| Additional optical criteria | Define uniformity, return loss, and other limits only where the application and test plan require them |
| Connector geometry | Approve LC style and polish plus MPO gender, key orientation, pinning, polish, and mating interface |
| Mechanical build | Approve 0.9 mm construction, leg lengths, tolerances, colors, labels, and packaging |
| Test documentation | Define channel numbering, test wavelengths, acceptance limits, report format, and traceability labels |
Do not infer passive monitoring capability from the product name alone. If the assembly is intended for a monitoring or TAP design, specify the through and tap paths, split ratio, directionality, active positions, wavelength, system loss budget, and acceptance test before production.

This page is intended for a PLC splitter assembly that divides optical power. A breakout or harness cable routes fibers one to one without power splitting. Confirm the optical topology on the approved drawing.
The current URL and model record identify OM3. The previous single-mode and G657.A1 text was inconsistent with that record and has been removed from this draft. The approved drawing and test plan must confirm the final fiber requirement and wavelengths.
The model code includes “1LC-2FMPO,” but the product image does not prove the final connector count or function. Confirm quantities, input and output roles, labels, and the complete port map on the approved drawing.
Do not rely on an internal model abbreviation alone. State the required MPO gender, key orientation, pinning, polish, populated positions, active positions, and mating interface explicitly on the drawing and quotation.
The current product record lists a 1×2 PLC circuit. Approve the input/output direction, split ratio, active positions, and path mapping before production.
Only when the monitoring topology is engineered and approved. Define the through and tap paths, split ratio, directionality, active positions, wavelength, system loss budget, and acceptance test instead of inferring TAP capability from the product name.
Define and test the maximum insertion loss for every complete active LC-to-MPO path at the agreed wavelengths. Generic connector or bare-PLC values do not represent the finished assembly.
Send the optical circuit, split ratio, LC details, MPO details, active-position map, OM3 and buffer requirements, cable lengths, wavelengths, complete-path loss limit, quantity, labels, packaging, and test-document requirements.
