The Dicon PM-1X4-13/15-9-ST is a polarization-maintaining fiber optic splitter that divides a single optical input into four separate outputs while preserving the polarization state of the transmitted signal. Built around single-mode polarization-maintaining fiber and terminated with ST connectors, this 1×4 splitter operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, making it suitable for dual-band telecom and specialty optical applications.
## Technical Specifications
• **Port Configuration:** 1 input × 4 outputs
