A fiber optic PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter is a passive optical device used in fiber optic networks to split a single optical signal into multiple signals. It plays a crucial role in network deployment, particularly in applications where a single optical source needs to be distributed to multiple end points.

The function of a fiber optic PLC splitter is to divide the optical power from an input fiber into multiple output fibers, each carrying a portion of the original signal. This enables the sharing of a single optical signal among multiple end devices, such as optical network terminals (ONTs), switches, or customer premises equipment (CPE).

The primary purpose of a fiber optic PLC splitter is to enable the efficient utilization of optical fiber infrastructure by eliminating the need for separate dedicated fibers for each connection. It allows network operators to extend connectivity to multiple users or locations without requiring individual fibers for each connection, thus reducing overall fiber deployment costs.

In essence, a fiber optic PLC splitter acts as a distribution point, enabling the network to serve multiple subscribers or endpoints from a single optical line. It facilitates the deployment of various network architectures, such as passive optical networks (PONs), where a single optical line can serve multiple users in a cost-effective and scalable manner.

Fiber optic PLC splitters are typically used in telecommunications, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, cable television (CATV) distribution systems, and other fiber optic network deployments. They provide a reliable and efficient means of splitting and distributing optical signals, enabling high-speed data transmission, voice communication, and multimedia services across multiple connections within a network.
