SC/APC to Dual MPO-8 PLC Splitter Configuration
This page is for a connectorized 1×2 PLC splitter assembly using one SC/APC interface and two MPO-format interfaces. The current model record identifies the MPO interfaces as 8F, but the approved drawing must define which fiber positions are active and how the optical circuit is mapped.
PLC Splitter Assembly vs MPO Breakout Cable
Selection note: Do not use “splitter” and “breakout cable” interchangeably. If the project only needs MPO fan-out or one-to-one routing, specify an MPO breakout assembly instead of a PLC splitter.
Optical Test and Acceptance Requirements
Evaluate the finished connectorized assembly, not isolated connector or bare-PLC values. The approved drawing and purchase specification should define the following acceptance criteria.
Ordering Checklist
- Approved 1×2 optical circuit and input/output direction
- Confirmation that each MPO interface is 8F and identification of active positions
- MPO or MTP-branded connector requirement, gender, key orientation, pinning, and polishing type
- SC/APC function, connector specification, and label
- Fiber type, 0.9 mm buffer requirements, colors, and environmental limits
- SC-side and MPO-side lengths with tolerances
- Operating wavelengths and maximum complete-path insertion loss
- Quantity, sample approval, packaging, and test-report requirements
