Overview

The Panduit FPONSS1X4 is a compact, in-line, splice-ready fiber optic splitter designed for Passive Optical Network (PON) applications. This passive device utilizes Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology to efficiently split a single optical signal into sixteen separate outputs. Its small form factor ensures compatibility with Panduit FPONE enclosures, facilitating streamlined deployment in network infrastructure. The splitter features a single bare fiber input on one side and sixteen bare fiber outputs on the opposite side, simplifying integration into existing fiber optic systems. Manufactured by Panduit (SKU: FPONSS1X4) in the USA, this splitter is a crucial component for distributing optical signals in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and other broadband access networks. Its passive nature eliminates the need for external power, contributing to lower operational costs and increased reliability. The precise splitting ratio of 1x16 is achieved through advanced PLC technology, ensuring signal integrity and performance for downstream devices. This device is ideal for network architectures requiring efficient signal distribution from a central point to multiple end-users or service points. The bare fiber interfaces are designed for direct splicing, allowing for robust and permanent connections within splice trays and enclosures.

How to Install the FPONSS1X4 Fiber Optic Splitter

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for mounting and wiring the FPONSS1X4 Fiber Optic Splitter without connectors.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Fusion splice equipment

Supplies needed:

Cable ties, Splice covers, Labeling materials

  1. Mount the splitter housing

    Secure the metallic housing of the FPONSS1X4 splitter in the splice tray above the splice holding slots using cable ties.

  2. Route the input fiber

    Route the input fiber to the fiber storage spool area, ensuring it is organized and free from kinks.

  3. Perform fusion splicing

    Using the fusion splice equipment, splice the input side of the splitter according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cover each splice with a splice cover and mount them in storage trays.

  4. Document and label fiber routing

    Document the fiber routing and label each section clearly for future reference.
