The Dicon PM/PC-4/C-1/80:20/2/90:10/1/50:50-13/15-9-FC-Z is a fiber optic splitter component engineered for multi-ratio signal distribution across telecommunications and data networking infrastructures. This model provides three independent splitting ratios—80:20, 90:10, and 50:50—enabling flexible optical signal management and routing. The component operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, standard wavelengths for single-mode fiber systems, with extended operation to 1625 nm available upon request.
