Product description
Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitters are intended to use for optical signal power splitting.
The product is intended for indoor usage only.
Safety of module
Optical splitter is passive optical network (PON) component and do not emit light energy by himself.
It can become dangerous when working with high level optical powered laser system.
When operating the equipment note the following:
Most fiber optic laser wavelengths (1260 nm...1650 nm) are totally invisible to the eye and can cause permanent eye damage.
Never look into the end of a fiber on a powered device with any sort of magnifying device. This includes microscopes, eye
loupes and magnifying glasses. Always double check that power is disconnected before using such devices.
Always use instruments, such as an optical power meter to verify light output power.
Operate only with the proper optical fiber installed in optical connector.
The laser transmitter should be turned off whenever the optical connector is empty.
Always connect a fiber to the output of the device before power is applied.
Never leave equipment with radiating bare fibres accessible - always cap the connectors.
Cleaning of optical connectors
The fiber ends can be damaged by the insertion of contaminated connectors. Some types of customer damage to connectors
are not covered under warranty. The standard optical connectors WDM diplexers are SC/APC.
Each fiber connector maybe polluted by dust or dirt in the operation process. Even very micro dust will also affect the
transmission quality. Dusty fiber optic connector will pollute other connected optic parts. If optical receive power and output
level of the receiver decline, you should clean and maintain fiber active connector.
Always clean all the fiber optic connectors before setting.
Reel cleaners or prepackaged alcohol lint free wipes or swabs are the most convenient means of cleaning optical connectors.
Fiber connectors should never be left uncovered.
Do not exceed the minimum bending radius when connecting cable to the system.
