ABS Box PLC Splitters
What Is ABS Box PLC Splitters?
ABS Box PLC Splitters is most commonly used in the PON networks. It provides the complete protection for inner optical components and cable, as well as designed for the convenient and reliable installation, but its volume is relatively large. It’s used for various connection and distribution products(outdoor fiber distribution box) or network cabinets.

FAQ – ABS Box PLC Splitter
1. What is an ABS Box PLC Splitter used for?
It is used in FTTH and PON networks to divide a single fiber optic signal into multiple paths for customer distribution.
2. What advantages does the ABS enclosure provide?
The ABS shell protects delicate optical components from dust, impact, and moisture while simplifying mounting and maintenance.
3. What splitter ratios are available?
Ratios include 1×2 to 1×64 and 2×N types depending on network design requirements.
4. Are these modules connectorized or bare fiber?
They can be delivered with factory‑terminated connectors (SC, LC, FC, ST) or bare pigtails for splicing.
5. Can the ABS box splitter be mounted outdoors?
It is mainly for indoor use but can be placed in IP‑sealed enclosures for outdoor applications.
6. What fiber types are used inside?
The module uses singlemode G.657A or G.652D fiber, ensuring low attenuation and tight bend performance.
7. What standards do these products comply with?
They meet Telcordia GR‑1209, GR‑1221, and ITU‑T G.657 performance and environmental requirements.
8. How do ABS Box PLC splitters differ from Mini PLC types?
ABS Box PLC Splitters come in protective modules for racks or cabinets, while Mini PLC versions are bare fiber‑based compact forms for tight spaces and splicing applications.
